Matterling — Liquids & Their Properties Liquid Channel Locks

Hi!

I'm Matterling.

Welcome to Liquid Channel Locks!

Will you help me investigate liquids & their properties?

The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.

Let's check the evidence!

A liquid flows and takes the shape of its container.

A given amount has a nearly fixed volume under the same conditions.

What changes when this water is poured?

  • A. Its mass doubles automatically
  • B. Its shape
  • C. Its identity into another substance

The answer is B: Its shape

Pouring into a taller, narrower container changes the liquid's shape and height,

not necessarily its amount.

That clue helps us make sense of this place.

Pouring into a taller, narrower container changes the liquid's shape and height,

not necessarily its amount.

What remains the same without spilling?

  • A. The volume of water
  • B. The container's shape
  • C. The water's height

The answer is A: The volume of water

A liquid flows and takes the shape of its container.

A given amount has a nearly fixed volume under the same conditions.

Hmm...

how does that connect to our first clue?

Our record pours 100 mL of water into another container without spilling.

The reading remains 100 mL even though the water looks taller.

How much water remains in our record?

  • A. Automatically 200 mL because it is taller
  • B. 0 mL because it moved
  • C. 100 mL

The answer is C: 100 mL

Our record pours 100 mL of water into another container without spilling.

The reading remains 100 mL even though the water looks taller.

Nice investigating!
