Mystery Person Physical Properties
• Pick one person from the classroom. Do not let them or anyone else know who you are picking.
• In your journal, record at least 7 physical properties of that person.
• Read your list of physical properties to your partner or to the class and see if they can guess who you picked based off of those properties.
Why are physical properties important in identifying things?
• Answer this question in your journal.
Matter
What is Matter?Anything that has mass and takes up
space.
All matter is composed of discrete, tiny particles called atoms.
Physical States of Matter
All matter exists in one of three physical states:
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Solid Matter
Definite shape and definite volume
Particles cohere rigidly to one another
Shape can be independent of the container.
Liquid Matter
Definite volume, but not a definite shape
Takes the shape of the container
Particles are close in contact, but move freely
Gaseous Matter
Indefinite volume and no fixed shape
Particles move independently of each other
Physical Properties of Matter
Any characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the substance into something else.
Physical Properties
Color – the color that an object is in its natural form
Mass- the amount of matter that something is made up of
Luster - the amount of light reflected by an object
State Of Matter - the physical forms in which a substance can exist; states include solid, liquid, gas
Brittle – easily broken or shattered
Ductility – able to be pulled into wires
Malleability – the ability to be rolled or pounded into thin sheets, like aluminum foil
Conductivity – the ability to transfer thermal energy (heat) or electricity
Magnetism – the property of attracting certain metals or producing a magnetic field as shown by a magnet
Density- the amount of matter in a given space or volume. (g/ml) or (g/cm3)
Triple Beam Balance Demo
• Tape/glue the Triple Beam Balance picture into your journals (this is still under practice) and get ready to fill in the blanks!!!!
