4 Matter  Matter has observable and measurable qualities.  We can use general properties to identify substances.  Two basic types of properties of matter: Physical properties and Chemical properties.

5 Physical Properties  Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the matter.  Basically, properties you notice when using one of your five senses:  Feel - mass, volume, texture  Sight - color  Hear  Smell  Taste

6 Matter  All matter has 2 types of properties:  Physical Property : A characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance is called a physical property.  Chemical properties : A chemical property describes the ability of a substance to change into a new substance with different properties.
