Physical Properties A characteristic of matter that is either observable (qualitative) or measurable (quantitative). Examples: Weight Color Hardness Smell Temperature Density
Chemical Properties A characteristic of a substance that describes its ability to participate in chemical reactions. Examples: Flammability Color Change Temperature Change Fizzing and Bubbling
Metal Evidence Evaluation Metal 1 2.7cm long Metal 2 4.4cm long
Metal Evidence Evaluation Identity of Metal 1 is : Aluminum Supporting Evidence: Aluminum is a lighter color than Metal 2 Aluminum is softer than Metal 2 Aluminum is a Non Magnetic metal Resources: Georgia Holt Science and Technology Physical Science Text Book
Metal Evidence Evaluation Identity of metal 2 is steel Supporting evidence: Steel is harder than aluminum Steel is magnetic aluminum is not magnetic Resources: Georgia Holt Science and Technology Physical Science Text Book
Liquid Evidence Evaluation There were three possible liquids, and each one reacted differently when it came in contact with a flame. Water Rubbing Alcohol Vinegar
Liquid Evidence Evaluation Mystery Liquid: alcohol Supporting evidence: • The liquid is flammable • The liquid had the same odor as the alcohol Resources: prior experiments and the Holt Science and Technology Physical Science Text Book
Powder Evidence Evaluation • There were fourdifferent powders: Baking soda, baking powder, baby powder, and corn starch Baking powder Baking soda Corn starch Baby powder Mystery powder
Powder Evidence Evaluation Mystery powder: baking powder Supporting evidence: • Reacts with water, vinegar, and iodine • Bubbled when it came in contact with water and vinegar • Turned the iodine black • Resources: Knowledge from prior experiments
Summary of Findings We conclude that the Metals found at the SWAMcrime scene were: aluminum, & steel The liquid was: alcohol The powder was: baking powder
