"Gas", "A phase of matter without a definite volume or shape." "Heterogeneous", "A combination of two or more materials that can be easily separated by physical means and visually appears to be made of different materials." "Homogeneous", "A combination of two or more materials that can be easily separated by physical means but visually appears to be made of only one material." "Inquiry", "A way of seeking information through questioning." "Investigation", "The search for information or solutions to problems by means of discovery." "Liquid", "Matter with a definite volume but a shape that can change." "Matter", "Anything that takes up space and has mass." "Mixture", "A combination of two or more substances that can be easily separated by physical means." "Observation", "Using one or more of your five senses to gather information." "Physical Properties", "Characteristics we use to distinguish between different types of matter by using differences in appearance." "Prediction", "A guess you are making about a result based on past experience." "Question", "An expression of inquiry that asks for a reply." "Solid", "Matter that has a definite shape and volume."
