How can matter be compared?

Today we kicked off our Properties of Matter science unit with an exploration.  Students were given tools such as hand lenses, centimeter measuring tapes, and magnets to observe (get information about using the five senses) and classify (sort according to properties, or characteristics) the objects.  On Monday, we'll return to this activity to observe and classify the objects using a balance and gram weights.

What property was used to classify these objects? (Hint: the loops on the left have the property the students observed; the loops on the right do NOT have the property the students observed.)



 


 
This one is tricky, but look closely!
