Exploring the Properties of Matter

The video tutorial by Miss Prince covers the differences between physical and chemical properties. It begins with questions to engage students, followed by detailed explanations of physical properties, such as appearance and density, and chemical properties, which involve potential changes during interactions. The tutorial uses examples like apples to illustrate these concepts. Students are encouraged to watch a related video and apply their understanding to a lab activity involving bananas and yeast.

What initial questions might you consider when observing two objects?

• Who made them?

• What is their color?

• What material are they made of?

• How old are they?

Which of the following is a physical property?

• Flammability

• Reactivity with acid

• Ability to rust

• Density

What does a physical property describe?

• The age of a substance

• The origin of a substance

• The appearance and measurable characteristics of a substance

• The potential chemical changes of a substance

Which of the following is an example of a chemical property?

• Boiling point

• Color

• Ability to react with oxygen

• Magnetism

What does a chemical property indicate?

• The current state of a substance

• The potential interactions and changes a substance can undergo

• The physical appearance of a substance

• The weight of a substance

How do physical properties differ from chemical properties?

• Physical properties describe potential changes, while chemical properties describe appearance.

• Physical properties describe appearance, while chemical properties describe potential changes.

• Physical properties describe weight, while chemical properties describe color.

• Physical properties describe origin, while chemical properties describe age.

What are the three colors that apples can come in?

• Red, blue, and green

• Green, blue, and yellow

• Red, yellow, and green

• Yellow, blue, and red

What happens to an apple when it is exposed to air?

• It turns brown

• It turns blue

• It turns yellow

• It turns green

What should you do before watching the video on the properties of matter?

• Take a quiz

• Pause the current video and search for the video on YouTube

• Read a book

• Write a summary

What is the next step after covering physical and chemical properties?

• Reviewing lab notes on the banana and yeast experiment

• Writing an essay

• Taking a break

• Reading a textbook
