Properties of Everyday Materials
In this lab, you’ll be observing
the following properties of
materials that make up
objects we use everyday.
Color
A common physical property.
Density
The amount of mass that is in a unit of
volume. The more mass that is in a
unit, the more closely the atoms are
packed together and the higher the
density.
Flammability
The chemical property that describes
whether an object will burn or not.
Solubility
The chemical property that describes
whether an object will dissolve in a
solvent (usually a liquid like water).
Hardness
This physical property describes the
hardness of an object.
Luster
This physical property describes how an
object reflects light (shiny).
Malleability
This physical property describes objects
that can be hammered into flat sheets.
Ductility
This physical property describes objects
that can be drawn into a wire.
Brittleness
This physical property describes how
easily objects will break or fall apart.
Brittleness
