Properties of Matter Task Cards NGSS Physical Science Review 76 Questions

Are you looking for a versatile tool to boost student engagement in your middle school classroom? Task cards are the perfect solution! This set of 76 questions aligns with NGSS Middle School Physical Science standards related to properties of matter, chemical formulas, and density found in NGSS MS-PS-1

Properties of Matter, Density Calculations, Atoms, Elements, Compounds, Extended Structures, and Molecules NGSS Physical Science Task Cards

Topics Covered:

• Identifying elements versus compounds and basic units of atoms and molecules.
• Determining the number of atoms in a compound from a formula, matching the formula to a model of a molecule.
• Identifying examples as simple molecules or extended structures (sodium chloride and diamond).
• Vocabulary: Atom, Element, Compound, Mixture, Homogeneous, Heterogeneous, Pure substance, Crystal, Extended structure.
• Properties of matter (physical and chemical), density, melting point, freezing point, boiling point, solubility, flammability, odor, reaction with water, acid, or air (rusting), magnetism, luster (shine).
• Periodic Table basics: Students are expected to use background knowledge that vertical groups of elements have shared properties to predict which elements would have similar properties, and that elements use symbols for their names.
• Calculation of density. The questions about density and volume may require students to use scratch paper or a calculator.
