Matter and it's Physical Properties
Remember what Matter is?Anything that takes up space and has mass
Do you remember your States of Matter?
SolidLiquidGasPlasma (we don’t worryabout plasma in 5th grade)
So what are all the physical properties of matter?
Remember that when we learned about traits, physical traits were those that were part of the body of the organism – not behaviors.
So physical properties of matter are simply the properties that are part of the substance without changing it into a new substance (no chemical changes).
These are things you can detect with your senses or measure!
Examples of physical properties
We will spend most of our time on:DensitySolubilityConductivityMagnetism
You should already be able to find the following using your measurement skills!
• Length• Mass• Volume
Physical Properties of MatterBoiling Point – The temperature at which
liquid matter turns into a gas.The boiling point of water is 100oC.
Physical Properties of MatterMelting Point – The temperature at which
solid matter turns to liquidFreezing Point – The temperature at which
liquid matter turns to solidThe freezing/melting point of water is 0oC.
MassThe amount of matter in an objectThe gram is the metric unit for mass
Physical Properties of Matter
Physical Properties of Matter
Volume The amount of 3-dimensional space an object occupies. Also known as Capacity.Can be measured by the amount of water an object can move or displace.All states of matter have volume, but only solids have a set shape.
Physical Properties of MatterDensity – The amount of matter within a
certain amount of volume. We will focus on relative density in water.
Which do you think has a greater density?Bowling Ball or Soccer Ball
Physical Properties of MatterDensity – The more dense an object the
more it will sink and the less dense an object the more it will float in water.
Physical Properties of MatterSolubility – The ability for a substance to dissolve
In a solution ingredients of a mixture are spread out evenly throughout. You usually cannot see the dissolved ingredients (other than through color change).
Physical Properties of MatterMagnetism – Property of attraction to a
magnet.The entire Earth has a magnetic field!
Physical Properties of MatterConductivity: Ability of a substance to
allow electricity or heat to pass through it.Metals are good conductors of heat and
electricity.Materials known as insulators block heat or
electricity. Thermal (heat) insulators are things
like styrofoam Electrical insulators are things like:
rubber, plastic, cotton
