===Meaning===
A '''property''' is what something a material is like.
===About Properties===
: A '''property''' of [[Brick|bricks]] is that they have a rough [[texture]].
: A '''property''' of [[water]] is that it can be [[Pour|poured]].
===Be Careful!===
Hot or cold and heavy or light are not properties. They can describe something, but they are not properties. Ask yourself; Can I change it? If the answer is yes, then it is a property of the material. If the answer is no, then it is not a property of a material. For example; a brick is rough, hard, redish brown, not see through, dull, firm stiff and a little bit absorbent. If I cut a brick in half it is still all of those things, but now it is not as heavy. So heavy and light are not properties. If I put a cold brick in an oven it still has all the same properties, but now it is hot. So hot and cold are not properties of a material.
