Properties of Matter

We have started learning about properties of matter in Science.  Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass.  All matter has properties.  A property is something that you can observe with your senses.  Some properties of matter are color, shape, and size.  Mass and how something feels are properties of matter.  The students had to identify the properties of these matters.
