Qualitative Physical Properties of Matter

How can you effectively provide detailed concepts of water properties to your high school class in a way they find exciting and challenging at the same time? By letting them play, of course! Through a variety of experiments, pupils...

In this metric units and properties activity, students determine the proper metric unit given a variety of measurements for specific items. They also identify chemical and physical properties and chemical and physical changes.

In this physical and chemical change learning exercise, students solve 13 clues in a crossword puzzle focusing on rates of chemical reactions and changes in the state of matter.

Engage the class like never before as pupils learn to differentiate between multiple physical and chemical changes by conducting a list of small experiments, most often with household materials. They make observations and discuss the...

Here is the first of four experiments to differentiate among unknown liquids by their behaviors and properties. Pupils observe how different liquids respond to being placed on plastic and paper, and they take notes about their...

These slides summarize the properties that define materials. The categories of physical and chemical changes that are used to describe substances are listed and students will find the examples of those changes useful. You could set the...

Poor Sam! His graham crackers have undergone a physical change, so he can't make his s'mores! Mia explains that their molecules haven't changed, therefore they are still graham crackers. The two teens then discuss clues that would...

Students observe the differences between physical and chemical changes in properties. Through the use of an interactive presentation, the students compare and contrast the changes and provide supporting examples of each type of change.

Does matter really matter? Properties of matter are discussed by Sam and RJ: mass, volume, and density. They differentiate between mass and weight. They explain how to measure these properties. Make sure to teach your class about other...

In this properties worksheet, students will label 9 examples of either physical or chemical properties. Students will complete 2 short answer questions about physical properties and the differences between chemical and physical...
