Properties of Matter 2 worksheet - Free Printable

Let's solve this science worksheet step by step.

---

A. Identify whether the object is matter or not matter.

Definition of Matter:
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space (volume). It includes solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. Things like emotions, light, heat, sound, and shadows are not matter because they do not have mass or volume in the physical sense.

Now, let’s go through each item:

1. Brick – Solid, has mass and volume → M
2. Helium (in a balloon) – Gas, has mass and volume → M
3. Fruit juice – Liquid, has mass and volume → M
4. Shadow – No mass, no volume; just absence of light → NM
5. Salt – Solid, has mass and volume → M
6. Happiness – Emotion, intangible → NM
7. Coffee – Liquid, has mass and volume → M
8. Noise – Sound waves; energy, not matter → NM
9. Ice popsicle – Solid, has mass and volume → M
10. Steam – Water vapor (gas), has mass and volume → M
11. Light – Electromagnetic radiation; energy, not matter → NM
12. Heat – Form of energy, not matter → NM
