Matter Properties Investigation

Laboratory equipment and materials for testing matter properties

🔬 Part 1: Properties Knowledge Check

1. Which property stays the same no matter how much of a substance you have?

Volume

Mass

Density

Weight

2. A lake and a cup both contain water. Which properties will be the same for both? (Check all that apply)

Boiling point

Volume

Melting point

Mass

3. If you have 10 grams of salt and 50 grams of salt, which property will be different?

Solubility in water

Mass

Melting point

Density

4. What does density measure?

How much space something takes up

How much matter is in a given space

How hot something gets before melting

How well something dissolves

📊 Part 2: Investigation Data Recording

5. Complete the data table below based on your investigation:

Substance Tested: _________________

Mass: _______ grams

Volume: _______ mL

Density Calculation: Mass ÷ Volume = _______ g/mL

Solubility in water: ________________

6. If you doubled the amount of your substance, predict what would happen:

Mass would: _________________

Volume would: _________________

Density would: _________________

7. Explain why density is useful for identifying unknown substances, even if you have different amounts:

🤔 Part 3: Real-World Applications

8. A scientist finds two mystery rocks of different sizes. Both have a density of 2.7 g/mL. What can the scientist conclude?
9. Sort these properties into the correct categories:

Properties to sort: Volume, Melting Point, Weight, Boiling Point, Mass, Solubility

Amount-Dependent Properties:

_________________________________


Amount-Independent Properties:

_________________________________

10. Give one real-world example of when knowing that density doesn't change with amount would be helpful:
