Physical property: Any characteristic of matter that you can observe without changing the identity of the substances that make it up.

Examples of physical properties:

• State of matter• Temperature• Color• Size• Hardness• Texture• Mass• Odor• Density• Volume• Malleability• Ductility• Solubility• Weight• Melting point• Boiling point

•Physical change: A change in the size, shape, form, or state of matter that does not change the matter’s identity

•Matter can change in many physical and chemical ways.

•When a physical change occurs, the chemical properties of the matter stay the same.

•Changes in the state of matter and dissolving are examples of physical changes.

•Melting and boiling are both changes in state.

•Changes in energy cause changes in the state of matter.

What are some other examples of a physical

changes??
