6th - Physical Properties
Definition | Physical Property |
---|---|
the amount of matter in an object | mass |
mass is measured with this tool | balance or triple beam balance |
the units for mass | grams |
amount of space an object takes up | volume |
volume is measured with this tool | beaker |
the units for volume | mL (milliliter) |
the amount of mass in a certain space | density |
breaks easily | brittle |
ability to float in a liquid or a gas | buoyancy |
ability to bend or be hammered into thin sheets | malleability |
ability to be made into thin threads | ductility |
how something feels | texture |
What two properties do you need in order to find the density of an object? | mass and volume |
Water has a density of 1.0 and iron has a density of 3.5. What will happen when you put the iron in the water? | sink |
A cup of salt water has a density of 2.1. An egg has a density of 1.6. Will the egg float or sink in the salt water? | Float |
What property uses the unit centimeters, millimeters, and meters? | size |
What is size measured with? | ruler |
length, width, height | size |
