1. Physical Properties of Matter

2. Physical Properties you can measure
• Temperature is a measure of how warm
something is.
• A thermometer is used to measure
temperature.

3. Physical Properties you can measure
• A common thermometer has liquid inside
a glass tube.
• When the liquid gets colder, it takes up
less space (goes down)
• When the liquid gets warmer, it takes up
more space (goes up)

4. Physical Properties you can measure
• Temperature is measured in degrees
Farenheit (0F) and degrees Celcius (0C).
• Different numbers for the same
temperature.

5. Physical Properties you can measure
• Mass is the amount of matter that makes
up an object.
• Mass is measured in grams (g) and
kilograms (kg)
• You can use a pan balance or triple beam
balance to measure mass.

6. Physical Properties you can measure
• Mass is the amount of matter that makes
up an object.
• Mass is measured in grams (g) and
kilograms (kg)
• You can use a pan balance or triple beam
balance to measure an objects mass.

7. Physical Properties you can measure
• Weight is the pull of gravity on an
object’s mass.
• A spring scale can be used to measure
weight.

8. Physical Properties you can measure
• The basic unit of weight is the newton
(N)
• However, in everyday life weight is given
measurements in grams and
kilograms, just like mass.

9. Physical Properties you can measure
• This is because on Earth, an object’s
mass and weight are about the same.
• That is because the pull of gravity is
nearly the same everywhere on Earth.

10. Physical Properties you can measure
• The weight of an object is equal to the
weight of all of it’s parts.
• The sum of the parts is equal to the
whole.
