Properties of Matter lab

Target learning: Students can identify properties of matter. Matter is measurable that can be changed, classified, and investigated. Students can describe physical properties of matter

 The students will investigate, measure, and describe the properties of a gummy bear. Then the students will change some properties by leaving the bear in water over night. This lab will take two to three days to complete and conclude. This is a great lab to look back on when it’s time to review properties of matter.

 Great lab for measuring, comparing, and contrast physical properties of matter. This lab also helps with place value in math skills and reading and ordering numbers.

 Here some of the properties of matter the students will work on during this lab.

• Mass
• Length
• Width
• Height
• Thickness
• Size
• Texture
• Flexible
• Odor
• Volume
• Density
• State of matter

Fold-able lab sheet to be glued into the student’s science notebook or science interactive journal.
