This Properties of Matter Experiments pack has been designed to align with the NGSS standard 5-PS1-3, “make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.”
There are 3 easy to use hands-on activities in this packet.
- Hardness of Materials – in this short lab the students will compare the hardness of common household objects and rank them on a scale (provided).
- Electrical Conductivity – both you and your students are going to love this one! They’re going to make a simple electrical circuit (using aluminum foil) and test common items to see if they conduct electricity or not. Full instructions with photos are included. This experiment is designed to work with the minimum of fuss. Expect lots of “wow this is cool”!.
- Mystery Powders Lab – this is a fun lab where they’ll test common household powders and then see if they can identify a mystery powder. Photos of what you can expect to see are included.
