properties of matter
Physical properties that can be described using our five senses.
observable properties
the amount of matter in an object
mass
has definite shape and definite volume
solid
triple beam balance
What type of physical property is temperature considered?
measurable property
Physical properties that can be determined using a scientific tool.
measurable properties
the amount of space that an object takes up
volume
has definite volume but no definite shape
liquid
unit of measurement for mass
grams
tool used to measure temperature
thermometer
Physical properties that can be determined through experimentation.
testable properties
anything that has mass and takes up space
matter
has no definite volume and no definite shape
gas
True or false: mass changes depending on the force of gravity
false
unit of measurement for temperature
degrees celsius
states of matter, shape, size, color, texture
observable properties
characteristics, traits that describe an object
physical properties
it's molecules are tightly compacted and vibrate
solid
true or false: mass of an object can only change if the object is broken in pieces
true
the boiling point of water
100 degrees celsius
magnetism, density, solubility, conductivity
testable properties
to group, separate objects based on their physical properties
classify
it's molecules are spread apart and move quickly
gas
true or false: the weight of an object depends on its mass
false
the freezing and melting point of water
0 degrees Celsius
