A table of the physical properties of metals and non-metals opens this high-school chemistry handout. Also covered are the chemical properties of metals and non-metals, reactivity, and fossil fuels. There are no specific questions to...

Each of the tables on these pages has a list of substances that pupils need to identify as having a particular chemical or physical property. Some of the choices include kinetic or potential energy, heterogeneous or homogenous mixture,...

Students identify the physical and chemical properties and explore the differences.  In physical and chemical property lesson students test polymers for the differences between the physical and chemical properties, record their...

Fourth graders sort and classify wood.  In this sorting tree products lesson, 4th graders sort and classify tree parts and pieces of wood, both natural and manufactured according to their properties. 

Students explore the structure and property changes of water through videos and classroom discussion. They are introduced to atomic arrangement of solids by looking closely at carbon in different forms, such as graphite and diamond....

Eighth graders explore the chemical and physical properties of a variety of elements in a lab setting. They organize the data they collect onto a spreadsheet and then choose one element from the periodic table to research. They...

Pupils describe how several different objects magnify a provided sentence and decide if they are good magnifiers or not. They then write a sentence describing two properties an object must have in order to be a good magnifier.

Students match definitions with vocabulary words and learn basic facts about matter. Then, they see how to determine the physical characteristics of matter. They determine the mass, volume, and density of objects using appropriate tools...

In this resources learning exercise, learners compare and contrast physical and chemical properties and changes. Students review the periodic table, pattern of atomic numbers and chemical reactivity. This learning exercise has 56 short...

Fifth graders study the physical properties of minerals in order to identify them. They examine how minerals are used before taking part in a activity in which they market toothpaste made from specific minerals.
