What is a Property?

A property is a characteristic that

describes an object or a substance.

Page 3: Lesson 3: Physical Properties of Matter. What is a Property? A property is a characteristic that describes an object or a substance.

All matter can be described based on its physical properties and its chemical properties.

Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed without changing the identity of the object or substance.

Physical Properties Include:

-Color-Mass-Volume-Density-Melting Point

-Boiling Point-Conductivity-Solubility-Viscosity-Flexibility

Research any of these properties that you are not familiar with and be

prepared to discuss them in class!
