Play through this interactive game to learn about Properties of Matter. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.
Main Concepts
Buoyancy is a physical property of matter related to a material’s ability to float or sink in water.
Boiling point is a property of matter related to the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas.
Melting point is a property of matter related to the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.
The temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
Scientists use scientific tools to measure the properties of matter.
A balance or scale measures the weight of an object.
Properties of matter can be used to identify substances.
Color is a physical property of matter.
A thermometer measures temperature.
A material’s response to magnetic forces is a property of matter.
Thermal conductivity is a physical property of matter related to how easily a material transmits heat.
Electrical conductivity is a physical property of matter related to how easily a material transmits electric current.
Reflectivity is a property of matter related to the amount of light that a material reflects.
Hardness is a physical property of matter.
