Physical Properties of Matter

Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substance. Properties include density, color, taste, melting point, boiling point, brittleness, malleability, magnetism, mass, length, and volume.

Fifth grade completed a lab investigation into the physical properties of five different crackers. Students documented the data in a data table based upon type of cracker, size, color, texture, and shape of each cracker.
