Physical Properties of Matter

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Physical Properties of Matter lesson plan also includes:
  • Activity
  • Project
  • Join to access all included materials

Five fabulous procedures introduce physics or chemistry classes to special properties of matter. They discover adhesion and cohesion, solubility, melting and boiling points, and viscosity through hands-on experiences. Tests are performed, not just on water, but on a variety of interesting compounds like naphthalene. It would be wise to add this resource to your library of laboratory activities.
