    What distinguishes a solid from a liquid?

    Solids have a fixed shape, while liquids take the shape of their container.

    What is the primary characteristic of particles in a solid?

    Particles are closely packed and vibrate in place.

    How do particles behave in a liquid compared to a solid?

    Particles in a liquid move and slide past each other, unlike in a solid.

    What happens to particles when a solid is heated?

    They gain energy and begin to move more freely, leading to melting.

    What is melting?

    The process where a solid turns into a liquid due to heat.

    What is freezing?

    The process where a liquid turns into a solid when cooled.

    What is a chemical reaction?

    A process where substances change into new substances with different properties.

    What are signs of a chemical reaction?

    Color change, gas production, temperature change, and formation of a solid.

    What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change?

    A physical change does not alter the composition, while a chemical change does.

    What is electricity?

    A form of energy that powers devices and flows through circuits.

    What is a circuit?

    A complete path through which electricity flows.

    What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

    A series circuit has one path for electricity, while a parallel circuit has multiple paths.

    What is sound?

    A form of energy produced by vibrating objects.

    How does sound travel?

    Sound travels through air, liquids, and solids, fastest in solids.

    What is pitch?

    The perceived frequency of a sound, determining how high or low it is.

    What happens to sound volume when a drum is hit harder?

    The volume increases as the energy of the vibrations increases.
