Common Physical and Chemical Properties
Lab Physical and Chemical Properties of
Everyday Materials
2
In this lab, youll be observing the following
properties of materials that make up objects we
use everyday.
3
Color

• A common physical property.

4
Density

• The amount of mass that is in a unit of volume.
  The more mass that is in a unit, the more closely
  the atoms are packed together and the higher the
  density.

5
Flammability

• The chemical property that describes whether an
  object will burn or not.

6
Solubility

• The chemical property that describes whether an
  object will dissolve in a solvent (usually a
  liquid like water).

7
Hardness

• This physical property describes the hardness of
  an object.

8
Luster

• This physical property describes how an object
  reflects light (shiny).

9
Malleability

• This physical property describes objects that can
  be hammered into flat sheets.

10
Ductility

• This physical property describes objects that can
  be drawn into a wire.

11
Brittleness

• This physical property describes how easily
  objects will break or fall apart.

12
Brittleness

• This physical property describes how easily
  objects will break or fall apart.
