Physical properties can also be tested or observed other ways. We often test to see if they are magnetic, a conductor (move energy, ex. electrical energy flows or moves through metal, so metal is a conductor of electrical energy), or an insulator (they stop the flow or movement of energy).
State of matter is another physical property you can observe. State of matter refers to whether you are a solid, liquid, or gas.
Please enjoy the following activities or games and learn more about the physical properties described above and more. Links are in black type. Simply click on the black type to access the links.
This link takes you to a lab activity to explore conductors and insulators of electricity.
Click on this link to try a review game on conductors and insulators. Conductors vs Insulators
Click on this link to play with and learn about magnets and force. Magnetism is another physical property. Magnetism
This link will allow you to test several physical properties of different objects.
Use this link to practice measuring with a ruler. I encourage you to use the centimeter s
ide, because that is the unit scientists use to measure length. Start easy then move on the medium and eventually hard as you learn how to measure. Using a ruler
This link will review several things about using a triple beam balance. You will even get to practice reading the balance. Triple Beam Balance
Read through this site and learn how to use a graduated cylinder. After reading the page click on the triangles on the side to move forward or backwards as you learn. Graduated Cylinder More on using a graduated cylinder. Graduated Cylinder 2
