Properties of Solids

Solid objects and measuring tools

🎯 WALT & Success Criteria

We Are Learning To:

• Observe and describe the properties of different solids, including fixed shape, fixed volume, and density

• Conduct simple experiments to measure and compare these properties

Success Criteria - I can:

Describe the physical properties of solids by observing their shape and volume

Measure and compare the density of at least two different solid materials

Record my findings using labelled diagrams and data tables

🔬 Experiment 1: Shape and Volume Observations

1. Examine each solid object. Record your observations in the table below:
Object Shape (describe) Does shape change when moved? Volume (cm³)
Wooden block
Metal cube
Rubber ball
2. What do all these solids have in common regarding their shape?

⚖️ Experiment 2: Density Investigation

3. Calculate the density for two different materials. Remember: Density = Mass ÷ Volume

Material 1: ________________

Mass = _______ g

Volume = _______ cm³

Density = Mass ÷ Volume = _______ ÷ _______ = _______ g/cm³

Material 2: ________________

Mass = _______ g

Volume = _______ cm³

Density = Mass ÷ Volume = _______ ÷ _______ = _______ g/cm³

4. Which material has the higher density? Why might this be useful in real life?
5. Circle the correct answer: Solids have a _______ shape and _______ volume.

fixed, fixed

changing, fixed

fixed, changing

changing, changing

6. Extension Challenge: How might temperature affect the volume of a solid? Design a simple experiment to test this.
