Properties of Matter Worksheet - Crossout - Free Printable

It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Physical Properties of Matter" that asks students to draw one or more properties that do NOT describe the matter listed for each item.

Let’s go through the worksheet step by step and solve it. The goal is to identify which property does NOT apply to the given object based on its physical characteristics.

Instructions Recap:

For each numbered item:
- A picture is shown.
- A list of 4 properties is provided.
- You must circle or draw one (or more) property that does NOT describe the object.

1. Grapes

- Properties: Rocks, sweet, round, huge
- Analysis:
- Grapes are sweet ✔
- Grapes are round ✔
- Grapes are not rocks ✘ (this is not a physical property of grapes)
- Grapes are not huge ✘ (they are small)
- Answer: Circle rocks and huge

> ✔ Correct answer: Rocks, huge — these do not describe grapes.

---

2. Paper clip

- Properties: metal, heavy, small, thin
- Analysis:
- Paper clips are made of metal ✔
- They are small ✔
- They are thin ✔
- They are not usually heavy ✘ (they're light)
- Answer: Circle heavy

> ✔ Correct answer: Heavy — this does not accurately describe a paper clip.

3. Apple

- Properties: small, hard, blue, round
- Analysis:
- Apples are round ✔
- Apples are hard (if unripe) ✔
- Apples are not small (usually medium-sized) ✘
- Apples are not blue ✘ (typically red, green, yellow)
- Answer: Circle small, blue

> ✔ Correct answer: Small, blue — these don’t describe most apples.

---

4. Lock

- Properties: dry, hard, metal, sweet
- Analysis:
- Locks are dry ✔
- Locks are hard ✔
- Locks are often made of metal ✔
- Locks are not sweet ✘ (no taste)
- Answer: Circle sweet

> ✔ Correct answer: Sweet — this is not a physical property of a lock.

---

5. Cloud

- Properties: white, soft, wooden, heavy
- Analysis:
- Clouds are white ✔
- Clouds are soft (visually, they look fluffy) ✔
- Clouds are not wooden ✘
- Clouds are not heavy ✘ (they float, so they’re light)
- Answer: Circle wooden, heavy

> ✔ Correct answer: Wooden, heavy — neither describes a cloud.

---

6. Rock

- Properties: soft, hard, round, smooth
- Analysis:
- Rocks are typically hard ✔
- Rocks can be round ✔ (especially river rocks)
- Rocks can be smooth ✔ (after erosion)
- Rocks are not soft ✘
- Answer: Circle soft

> ✔ Correct answer: Soft — rocks are not soft.

---

7. Lemon

- Properties: bounces, floats, round, heavy
- Analysis:
- Lemons are round ✔
- Lemons float in water? ✘ → Actually, lemons do float due to air pockets in the peel! So floats ✔
- Lemons bounce? ✘ → Not really; they’re soft and squishy.
- Lemons are not heavy ✘ (they're relatively light)
- But wait: Let's check:
- Bounces: No, lemons don't bounce well → ✘
- Floats: Yes, they float → ✔
- Round: Yes → ✔
- Heavy: No → ✘

So both bounces and heavy are incorrect.

> ✔ Correct answer: Bounces, heavy

---

8. Feather

- Properties: dry, hard, cold, odorless
- Analysis:
- Feathers are dry ✔
- Feathers are not hard ✘ (they’re soft and light)
- Feathers are cold? Maybe when touched, but not inherently cold → could be debatable, but not a defining physical property
- Feathers are odorless ✔
- Most clearly wrong: Hard ✘
- Also, cold is not a permanent property — temperature depends on environment.
- But since "cold" is listed as a physical property, it may be misleading.

But feathers are not hard — that’s definitely false.

> ✔ Correct answer: Hard — feathers are soft, not hard.
