Physical Properties of Matter Lab Activities | Science Experiments

Introduce or review the Physical Properties of Matter with these hands-on investigation stations. There are 13 fast stations that each target a specific observable, measurable, or testable physical property of matter.

The stations are organized into three separate flip-books:

• Observable properties of matter - - 4 stations
  • 3 for states of matter
  • 1 for sorting by properties

• Measurable properties of matter - - 4 stations
  • temperature
  • length
  • volume
  • mass

• Testable properties of matter - - 5 stations
  • magnetism
  • electrical conductivity
  • thermal conductivity
  • solubility
  • relative density

These stations are designed to be a quick introduction to the concept of the different physical properties of matter. Each station should take 5-10 minutes.

We recommend following each set of stations with content vocabulary notes. These can be written directly into interactive notebooks or you can use our foldable notes.

If you follow a pace of 1 day for stations followed by 1 day for vocabulary instruction, you should be able to introduce all the various physical properties in SIX days.
