The 5 senses can be used to classify this type of physical property:
QUALITATIVE or QUANTITATIVE
Qualitative, because you are able to physically use senses to make observations.
100
Looking at the images above, which side shows a change in identity or the chemical property of matter. Have reasoning to share.
The images on the left because they show changes occurring that cannot be turned back into it's original form.
200
Name one object that is matter and one object that is not characterized as matter.
example: Table, door, person, air = all matter!
example: Light or Fire = not matter!

200
Which one is NOT a QUANTITATIVE physical property of matter?
melting point, hardness, conductivity, magnetism
Hardness. This is a QUALITATIVE physical property of matter.
200
Which of the following can cause water to have a chemical reaction?
flammability, rusting, corroding
Rusting- when water on metal dissolves over time it can cause the metal to react by showing rust
300
True or False: Air is not matter because we can not see it.
False: Air is matter because it is made up of atoms that have a mass and take up space.
