Page 109 Materials have many other properties in addition to those described here. Examples are clarity, lustre, texture, ductility, brittleness, and shape. Choose two properties to research. Share what you learn with the class. | ||
| Properties | ||
| This educational web site clearly describes physical properties of materials. ( http://www.edu.pe.ca/vrcs/2001/homework/gr9/matter.html ) | ||

| Discovering the Properties of Materials | ||
| Scientists have developed ways to test and describe the properties of materials. These instructions are meant for university students, but you’ll find them useful too. ( http://educ.queensu.ca/~science/main/concept/chem/c02/c02lad13.htm ) | ||

Page 120 Try some quizzes and puzzles about mass, volume, and density to get more practice and test your knowledge. | ||
| Volume, Mass, and Density | ||
| This mass, volume, and density tutorial includes film clips and interactive activities. ( http://www.nyu.edu/pages/mathmol/modules/water/density_intro.html ) | ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| Math and Science Activity Centre | ||
| Review the concepts of volume, mass, and density with these interactive tutorials. Straightforward and more challenging activities are included. ( http://www.edinformatics.com/math_science/mass_volume_density.htm ) | ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| Ask a Scientist about Density | ||
| Take a look at one student’s question about density, and then read the answers provided by four scientists. ( http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/gen99/gen99428.htm ) | ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| Density Problem Generator | ||
| This page generates density problems. Some of these problems are challenging because you will need to solve for mass or volume rather than density. (Note: The symbol cc stands for cubic centimeter, cm3.) ( http://proton.csudh.edu/lecture_help/density.html ) | ||
