Take a Look at Matter and Properties of Matter

Exploring the characteristics of matter is an exciting way to introduce kids to the building blocks of the physical world. Matter is everything around us that takes up space, from the air we breathe to the water we drink and the objects we touch. For kids, learning about matter means understanding its observable properties—traits they can see, feel, or measure.

Zooming in on Matter Properties – Graphic Organiser

This resource is a perfect match for our Zooming In On Observable Properties Teaching Slide Deck. In this activity, students view a close-up image of a random object, observe it, and predict its identity. Once they think they’ve figured it out, they can view the whole picture to verify their answer.

This graphic organiser helps kids record and categorise observable characteristics of different types of matter. Designed with simple sections and easy-to-understand instructions, it guides students to describe items based on the following observable characteristics of matter:

  • Colour
  • Shape
  • Texture
  • State
  • Luster
  • Hardness
  • Flexibility
