Explore It! Station 2 DirectionsDirections:1. Copy the table shown below to your lab sheet. 2. Then read these directions out loud to your group - when your group has
heard and understood the directions see your teacher for the materials.3. Use a toothpick to transfer a small amount of each powder into 4 different
wells Leave enough room to add test solution so that it doesn’t spill outside of the well (make sure each toothpick is used with only one type of powder).
4. Use the dropper to add indicator to each powder and record the color for each (do not touch the powder with dropper).
5. Rinse off each well in the sink and dry with a paper towel.
Powder Baking Soda Cream of Tartar Sugar Salt
Indicator
Color
Describe the color of the indicator for each substance
Illustrate It! Lab Station 3 Directions

decay.
Read It! Station 5 DirectionsEach member of the group will read the passage and answer the questions from the task cards on the lab sheet in the Read It! section. It is important to remember that the answers will come directly from the reading passage.
Read It! 1 -Which of the following best describes a physical property of matter?A. The physical properties of matter are the things that
can be measured and observed without changing the substance itself.
B. Physical properties include solubility, melting point, boiling point, and electrical conductivity.
C. Chemical properties relate to the ability of a substance to form chemical bonds with other substances or break bonds within the substance.
D. During a chemical reaction, a substance changes into a different substance.
Read It! Station 5 Task Cards
Read It! 2 -Which of the following is the best description of solubility?A. The ability of a material to transmit an
electrical current.B. The ability of one substance to dissolve
another substance.C. The ability to form bonds with oxygen
and burn.D. The number and arrangement of the
subatomic particles.
Read It! 3 - Why aren’t size and mass characteristic properties of matter?A. Because the amount of the sample
does not affect the properties it has.B. They are things that can be measured
and observed without changing the substance itself.
C. Because they do not describe the ability of a substance to form chemical bonds with other substances.
Read It! 4 -Which of the following explain why boiling and freezing are physical properties of matter?A. Because boiling and freezing are
physical changes that can be reversed. B. Neither boiling nor freezing changes a
substance into a different substanceC. Both A and BD. None of the above.
Organize It! Station 6 Directions
It is recommended that you have completed the following stations before working at this station.
- Explore/ FOCUS Sheet- WS - Characteristic Properties of Matter (pg 14 IN)- Notes - Characteristic Properties of Matter (pg 15 IN)
If you have not completed these with your group to complete these.
Each group will organize the cards. Each of the cards will be used. Once you are complete please have the teacher sign off on your lab sheet.
Please mix up the cards again before the next group arrives at this station.
Organize It! Station 6 Task CardSuppose that you are given two mysterious pieces of metal. Which of the physical properties on the cards must be the same for both metals if they were the same? 1. Organize the cards into those that must be the same and those that
can be different. 2. Create list of what measurements would be the same and would be
different on your lab sheet.3. Please shuffle the cards before you leave this station.4. The cards read: Mass, Density, Height, Color, Volume, Melting Point,
