1. Physical Properties:
Something that I can see/feel/measure

2. Matter: Anything that has mass and takes up space.

3. Color

4. Conductivity: Allows heat and electricity to flow through it.

5. Density: Amount of matter packed into an object.
Sink or float
Density = mass/volume

6. Freezing Point: the point at which a liquid becomes a solid.
0◦C for water

7. Boiling Point: the point at which a liquid becomes a gas.
Water Vapor (Gas)
100◦C for water
Liquid water

8. Solubility: the ability to dissolve
Salt into Water

9. Texture: how something feels when I move my hand across the surface.
Tack = Sharp
Log = rough
Table top = smooth

10. Mass: amount of matter in an object
Triple beam balance measures mass

11. Magnetic/Non-magnetic: attraction to a magnet

12. Melting point: the point at which a solid becomes a liquid.

13. Volume: How much space it takes up
Volume of a solid is calculated by
L X W X H
Water displacement

14. Shape

15. We can also add…

16. Length
Centimeters (cm)
Inches (in)

17. Smell (odor)

18. Malleability: ability for metal to bend

19. Hardness: Moh’s Scale measures the hardness of minerals
Quartz has a hardness of 7.

20. Streak: Residue from a mineral.
A streak plate is used to find the true color.

21. Evaporating: A liquid turning into a gas.

22. Buoyancy: The ability to float
Sink = more dense than water
Float = less dense than water

23. Ability to insulate: stops the flow of heat or electricity.
Fabric Oven Mitt
Rubber tires
Styrofoam cup

24. Chemical Properties of Matter: characteristic of a substance that is observed during a reaction

25. Flammability: the ability to burn.

26. Corrosiveness: Acid eating away at metal

27. Rusting: Iron reacts with oxygen and creates Iron Oxide (rust)

28. pH: measures acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

29. Rotting: decaying and creating new things
Moldy bread – being broken down by the mold.

30. We can also add…

31. Ability to tarnish: silver reacts with oxygen.
Not tarnished
Tarnished

32. Burning or combustion of fossil fuels: burns because it is a new product
OIL

33. Digestion: Energy from proteins and sugars are broken down into something new.

34. Photosynthesis: changing water, carbon dioxide, and light energy into glucose (sugar)

35. Evidence of a Chemical Change

36. Production of a Gas

37. Production of a Precipitate: when two liquids are combined and a solid is formed.

38. Color Change
Sliced apples change color because they react with oxygen.

39. Change in temperature
Break and/or shake for temperature change.

40. A spark, light or an explosion
