  1. Properties of Matter Click the beaker to start

  2. Next Slide Properties of Matter A property is a characteristic or feature an object has. These properties of matter can be used to identify objects. Example: One of the properties of the water below is that it conducts electricity Example: One of the properties of the glitter below is that it is shiny

  3. Properties of Matter Some of the Properties of matter we will study include the 13 words below. Click on them to learn more! ColorHardnessLuster BrittlenessConductivity Ductility ElasticityMalleabilityOdor TenacityBuoyancySolubility Magnetism

  4. NEXT Color Color is the way an object absorbs or reflects light Example: The colors of the rainbow hit the blue square, it absorbs everything but blue which it reflects back to your eye. That is why the square appears blue.

  5. Color NEXT In your packet explain why the square below appears green to your eye.

  6. BACK to MENU Color Think of an object that you would consider the world’s best example of color and record it in your packet.

  7. NEXT Hardness Hardness is the ability of an object to resist being scratched Example: A diamond is very hard, it can scratch a lot of things, but is not scratched easily Example: A candle is NOT hard. It can be scratched easily.

  8. NEXT Hardness obtain a nail. Scratch the nail on different objects (ex: your pencil or pen) in order to find 2 things that it is harder than. **DO NOT use valuable things like the computer, your table, cabinets** Record the objects you identified in your packet.

  9. BACK to MENU Hardness Think of an object that you would consider the world’s best example of hardness and record it in your packet.

  10. NEXT Luster Luster is the shininess of a material Example: All of the objects below show luster Example: All of the objects below do not show luster

  11. NEXT Luster Identify 3 objects that have luster and write them in your packet.

  12. BACK to MENU Luster Think of an object that you would consider the world’s best example of luster and record it in your packet.

  13. NEXT Brittleness Brittleness means an object is easy to break Example: The bridge below is NOT brittle because it is not easily broken Example: The cracker below is brittle because it is easily broken when it is bent

  14. NEXT Brittleness In your packet place the objects below into the 2 column chart… brittle objects on the left and objects that are not brittle on the right.

  15. BACK to MENU Brittleness Think of an object that you would consider the world’s best example of brittleness and record it in your packet.

  16. NEXT Conductivity Conductivity is the ability of an object to let heat and electricity pass through it Example: When you plug in a curling iron the wires conduct electricity which allow the curling iron to run. The plastic coating on the outside does not conduct electricity which allows you to touch the cord without being electrocuted

  17. NEXT Conductivity Identify which of the following circuits will work to light the bulb… record the letters of each in your packet. Penny Metal wires E A Water Rubber duck Pencil B C D

  18. BACK to MENU Conductivity Think of an object that you would consider the world’s best example of conductivity and record it in your packet.

  19. NEXT Ductility A property of metals that allows them to be drawn into wires Example: The metal copper can be made into wires and it comes in many different sizes

  20. NEXT Ductility In your packet draw a picture to help you remember the definition of ductility.

  21. BACK to MENU Ductility Think of an object that you would consider the world’s best example of ductility and record it in your packet.

  22. NEXT Elasticity Elasticity refers to the ability of an object to stretch and return to it’s original position Example: This person is stretching the rubber band… when they let go it will snap back and return to it’s original shape Objects do have an elastic limit. If you stretch them beyond that they will break!

  23. NEXT Elasticity Identify three things in this school building that show the property of elasticity… write the name of each in your packet.

  24. BACK to MENU Elasticity Think of an object that you would consider the world’s best example of elasticity and record it in your packet.

  25. NEXT Malleability A property of most metals allowing them to be rolled into sheets or pounded into different shapes Example: a nail can be bent by a hammer Example: a soda can can be pounded into different shapes

  26. NEXT Malleability Draw a picture of how you could use play dough to demonstrate malleability

  27. BACK to MENU Malleability Think of an object that you would consider the world’s best example of malleability and record it in your packet.

  28. NEXT Odor Odor is a common characteristic of substances that is observed by the nose. Odor is produced by the vapor particles being given off by an object.

  29. NEXT Odor On the chart provided in your packet name 3 of your favorite odors and 3 odors that you dislike.

  30. BACK to MENU Odor Think of an object that you would consider the world’s best example of odor and record it in your packet.

  31. NEXT Tenacity Example: High Tenacity The ability of an object resist being pulled apart An object that is tough to break Steel Cable Wood Paper Low Tenacity

  32. NEXT Tenacity In your packet rank the following items from most tenacious to least tenacious Metal Wire Cardboard box Glass

  33. BACK to MENU Tenacity Think of an object that you would consider the world’s best example of tenacity and record it in your packet.

  34. NEXT Buoyancy The ability of an object to float in a liquid Things that are Buoyant: Things that are not buoyant:

  35. NEXT Buoyancy In your packet list at least 3 things that are buoyant (float) when you throw them into the pool

  36. BACK to MENU Buoyancy Think of an object that you would consider the world’s best example of buoyancy and record it in your packet.

  37. NEXT Solubility The ability of an object to dissolve in another substance Example: rice and glitter will not dissolve in water (not soluble) Example: sugar cubes and salt will dissolve in water (are soluble)

  38. NEXT Solubility In your packet list at least three things that you eat or drink that are soluble in water

  39. BACK to MENU Solubility Think of an object that you would consider the world’s best example of solubility and record it in your packet.

  40. NEXT Magnetism the attraction or repulsion between the North and South Poles Like poles repel, Opposite poles attract!! Ex: North repels North, but North attracts South

  41. NEXT Magnetism Explain what will happen in each of the following situations… write the answers in your packet. A B C

  42. BACK to MENU Magnetism Think of an object that you would consider the world’s best example of magnetism and record it in your packet.
