2. Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter

3. In a dark room, how could you identify your parents?
In a crowd, how could you identify your parents?
Ask, what am I trying to get at? The more of these properties you have, the better you can identify the person.

4. Including people, all substances have properties!
Example:
People can be identified by their …
Face (shape, expressions)
Voice
Height
Finger prints
Eye color
Hair color
Teeth
DNA

5. Physical Properties
Physical properties are used to identify, describe and classify matter.
Characteristic of a substance that can be observed (using your senses) or measured without changing the substance into something else.
Hardness
Texture
Color
Odor
Taste
Temperature

6. More Examples of Physical Properties
Luster
Smell
Size
shape
freezing point
boiling point
melting point
attraction or repulsion to magnets
Viscosity
Density

7. Activity: Physical Properties
Turn to your neighbor and explain physical properties using an object in the classroom.
Pair share the prompt. Whole group answer then complete the activity.
Have students complete the Activity: Physical Properties
Activity: Physical Properties

8. Creating a new chemical product
Chemical Properties
Chemical properties are characteristics involved when a substance interacts with another substance to change its chemical make-up.
Flammability
Rusting
Creating gas bubbles
Creating a new chemical product
Reactivity with water pH

9. More Examples of chemical Properties
Flammability (the ability to catch on fire)
Toxicity (the ability to be poisonous)
Oxidation (the ability to react with oxygen, which causes apple slices to turn brown and iron to rust)
Radioactivity (spontaneously emitting energy in the form of particles or waves by the disintegration of their atomic nuclei)
Sensitivity to light (which causes newspaper to turn yellow).
Being acidic or basic is another kind of chemical property.
