Identifying Physical and Chemical Properties

Discover the difference between physical properties and chemical properties of matter in this informative science worksheet! Learners will first read an introduction that tells about what makes a property of matter physical or chemical and lists some examples of these properties. Then, learners will read a set of sentences that each describe a property of a substance. They will need to use the terms in the word bank to determine which property is being described in each sentence and whether it is a physical or chemical property. 

This middle school science worksheet is perfect for showing students different ways to observe, classify, and describe physical substances. Young scientists can also think about how they can determine whether a chemical reaction has taken place and how the properties of substances change over the course of a chemical reaction. Students can use these skills as they continue to learn more about physics and chemistry!
