Matter and it’s Properties
Length, Width, and Height

● Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
○ An observable characteristic or attributes of matter is known as its property.
● Length is the measure of the distance from one point to another space to another.
● Width refers to the measure of an object from its side to the other side, indicating
how wide or narrow it is.
● Height refers to the altitude or depth of an object or figure.
Magnetic Property
Magnetic property refers to the ability of matter to be attracted to a magnet or attract iron.
● Magnet - a material that attracts iron and gives off an external magnetic field.
○ Magnetic materials - matter that is attracted to a magnet
■ Ex. Metal elements such as iron, cobalt, steel, nickel
■ Paper clips, safety pins, needles, 25-centavo coin, tin can
○ Nonmagnetic materials - matter cannot be attracted to a magnet
■ Ex. Metals that are not iron, cobalt, steel, nickel
■ Materials made of plastic, rubber, ceramic, wood
■ Objects like glass slide, cardboard, handkerchief, ceramic tile
1
Heat and Electrical Conductivity
Heat Conductivity is the ability of matter to allow heat to pass through it.
● Good heat conductors are materials that let heat pass through easily.
○ Ex. Metals (iron, steel, mercury, gold, silver)
○ Nonmetals (graphite, diamond)
○ Body of cooking pots and iron, baking pans, cookie sheets, electric stove coil
● Poor heat conductors (insulators) are materials that do not let heat pass through
easily.
○ Ex. Nonmetals (wood, plastic, cloth, fiberglass)
○ Mittens, polystyrene, handles of pots and pans, handle of iron
Electrical property indicates the ability of matter to let electric current pass through it.
● Conductors of electricity refer to matter that let electricity pass through them.
○ Ex. silver, copper, gold, aluminum, magnesium, tungsten, nickel, mercury,
platinum
● Nonconductors of electricity (electric insulators) refer to matter that does not let
electricity pass through them.
○ Ex. oil, fure, silk, wool, rubber, glass, porcelain, plastic, wood, paper
Degree of Transparency to Light

Degree of transparency of light is the property to have the ability to allow light to pass
through.
● Transparent materials refer to objects that allow a great amount of light to pass
through.
○ Ex. clear glass, plastic, cellophane, clean water, eyeglass lenses
● Translucent materials refer to objects that allow some light to pass through.
○ Ex. frosted, tinted, and stained glass, thin white cloth
● Opaque materials refer to objects that do not allow light to pass through.
○ Ex. wood, metal, ceramics, walls, porcelain, boxes
2
Intensive and Extensive Property
● Intensive property is a property of matter that remains the same regardless of the
amount of matter.
○ Ex. density, state of matter, temperature, boiling point, odor
● Extensive property is a property of matter that will vary depending on the amount of
matter.
○ Ex. volume, mass, size, weight, length

Managing our Waste
Waste Management refers to the manner of collecting, treating, and proper disposal of
trash and other waste products.
● Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair, and Recover (5Rs or waste hierarchy) - a

reminder for us of steps that we can do to lessen the effects of the waste we
produce.
1. Reduce
○ Concept of lessening the waste we produce.
■ Ex. buy in bulk, finish all the food, avoid disposable things, use cloth
hankies
2. Reuse
○ Concept of using things again or repurposing them for another use other
than what they were intended for.
■ Ex. empty tires, old tires, old newspapers, using of rechargeable
batteries
3. Recycle
○ concept of transforming an object into a raw material that can be shaped
into a new one.
○ Ex. recyclables such as glass, plastic, paper, and metals
4. Recover
○ Concept of using waste to replace other materials
5. Repair
○ Concept of fixing materials in order to serve their purpose again.
