Properties of Matter
Properties of Matter
All matter has properties and can be described, measured, and classified in many different ways. This video and these information cards can help you identify the properties of matter.

Changing States of Matter
Changing States of Matter
Why are the melting point of water and the freezing point of water the same at 0 degrees?
Why are the melting point of water and the freezing point of water the same at 0 degrees?
Ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius to become water and water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius to become ice.
Ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius to become water and water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius to become ice.
Matter can change its properties when it changes states.

Conductor or Insulator
Conductor or Insulator
Matter can be either a conductor of electricity or an insulator of electricity. Conductors allow energy to flow through. Insulators do not allow energy to flow through. Electrical wires are often made of copper, a good conductor of electricity. Electrical wires are usually coated with an insulator, a material that does NOT allow electricity to flow through.

Mixture or Solution?
Mixture or Solution?
A mixture is a combination of two or more substances. A new substance is not formed in a mixture. Mixtures can typically be easily separated. You can use a strainer, a coffee filter, a magnet, or evaporation to separate a mixture.

A solution is a special type of mixture. A solution is a mixture in which one substance dissolves in another substance.
