1. Think of your favorite food. 2. How would you describe your food? 3. What does it look like? Smell like? Think of descriptive words.
4
There are two basic types of properties that we can associate with matter. Physical Properties: Properties that do not change the chemical nature of matter Chemical Properties: Properties that do change the chemical nature of matter
5
Some ways to detect physical properties Color Shape Size Texture Volume Mass Physical properties do not change the substance Example – stretching a rubber band
6
Is a change in any physical property of a substance, not in the substance itself. Examples Breaking a piece of clay in half Changes size and shape only Change in a substances state of matter Example – water and ice – liquid to solid
7
Characteristic of a Substance that describes how it can form a new substance Examples Wood burns and turns into ashes iron rusts when left outdoors Silver develops tarnish on the surface
8
The change of one substance into another substance Affects the substances involved in the change During change combinations of atoms in the original substance is rearranged to make new substance
9
Odor Produce new smell – i.e. rotten egg – produces sulfur smell Temperature Increase or decrease – i.e. Logs burning on campfire Color Change in color – i.e. fruit changes color as it ripens Bubbles Formation of gas bubbles – i.e. antacid tablet in water Solid Forms a solid – two liquids combined called precipitate i.e. – clams shells – seawater combining with creature

Changes in Matter Changes in Matter
11
Matter will change phases when heat is added or lost. Melting: process where a solid becomes a liquid (heat is added) Melting point – lowest temperature at which a substance begins to melt Freezing: process which a liquid becomes a solid (heat is lost) Freezing point – temperature that a liquid becomes a solid Evaporation: process that a liquid becomes a gas (heat is added) Occurs at the surface of the liquid
12
Matter will change phases when heat is added or lost. Sublimation: when a solid changes to a gas (heat is added) Dry ice Boiling: Process that a liquid becomes a gas (heat is added) Boiling Point – liquid reaches a certain temperature. Different substances have different boiling points Condensation: process by which a gas changes to a liquid (heat is added) Beads of water on glass
13
Gas Liquid Solid Condensation Boiling - Evaporation MeltingFreezing
14
Density Compare density to other substances Heating properties Substances respond to heat differently Solubility How much does the substance dissolve Electric properties Does it conduct electricity Magnetic properties Is substance attracted to magnet
