<p>Properties of Matter Poster Project – Due Monday, December 14th </p><p>My assigned property of matter is: ______</p><p>Students will use a large piece of drawing paper to create a poster about one property of matter in order to teach it to the class. The poster needs to include the following: 1. Research matter and its properties. Use the Matter and Energy Book textbook, Chapter 2 for reference.</p><p>2. Give your poster a large and vivid title that can be read across the room. Vivid means there must be “contrast” between the color of your poster and the color of your title</p><p>3. *Define “matter” on your poster. If you define it properly you should find that it includes 2 sub- definitions. Make sure you explain what each means.</p><p>4. Research and define your property of matter on your poster—use your own words.</p><p>5. *Research the concepts of a “Chemical Property” and “Physical Property”. Is your property a physical property or a chemical property? Why? Learn about what they are and then prove that you understand why your property is that.</p><p>6. Include 3 examples of your property of matter on your poster. Ex: if your property is ability to rust you could include an image of a nail. Internet printouts can be used but remember if you want to print them here they will be in black and white! Captions for each should be included.</p><p>7. One component of the poster must be 3 dimensional. Do not include anything that is valuable. (Do not use clay, food or any heavy objects, as they will fall off the poster.) The 3-D component does not also count as an example (see # 6 above).</p><p>8. Be neat, organized and accurate. Use lots of color through brightly colored poster board, markers, etc.</p><p>9. When you create your poster the emphasis should be on “showing”, not telling!</p><p>10. Include your name and period on your poster—in the top right hand corner</p><p>*these steps require the most thought</p><p>You will be responsible for learning all properties listed on the reverse side and demonstrating that understanding on a quiz. Note that there is a Properties of Matter power point available on my site for you to review. Poster Textbook Topics</p><p>You may trade with a friend if you wish, just let me know!</p><p>Property 1.
