===Meaning===
A '''property ''' is what an a [[material]] or [[object ]] is like.: Singular [[Noun]]: '''Property''': Plural [[Noun]]: '''Properties''' ===About Properties===Something can be rough or smooth, hard or soft, blue or red, [[Transparent|transparent]] or [[Opacity|opaque]], shiny or dull, firm or bendy, stretchy or stiff and [[Absorb (Chemistry)|absorbent]] or waterproof.
===Examples===
{| class="wikitable"|-|[[File: GlassBroken.png|center|200px]]|[[GlassFile:BrickRed.png|center|200px]]|[[File:Water.png|center|200px]]|-|A '''property''' of [[glass]] is that it looks '[[Transparent|see throughtransparent]]'.: |A '''property''' of [[Brick|Bricksbrick]] are is that it has a rough[[texture]].: |A '''property''' of [[Waterwater]] is that it can be [[Pour|poured]].|}
===Used in a SentenceNote to Teachers===: A Be careful not mix the properties of a material for the properties of an object. Ask yourself; Can I change it without changing what it is made from? If the answer is yes, then it is not a property of [[glass]] the material. For example; a brick is that rough, hard, redish brown, opaque, dull, firm, stiff and a little bit absorbent. If I cut a brick in half it looks is still all of those things.*''Hot or cold'[[Transparent|see through]]'is not a property of a material. 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.: A property *''Heavy or light'' are not properties of [[Brick|bricks]] a material. If I cut a some brick in half then it is that they have not as heavy anymore, so heavy and light are not properties of a rough [[texture]]material.: A property *''Solid, liquid or gas'' are not properties of [[water]] is that a material because it depends on temperature. However, you can be [[Pour|poured]]state them as properties if you say 'at room temperature' at the end. Brick is solid at room temperature. Water is liquid at room temperature.
==Key Stage 2==
===Meaning===
A '''property''' is [[Describe|description]] of a [[material]] or an [[object]] and how it behavesthey behave. : '''[[Noun]]''': Property
===About Properties===: '''NounProperties'''are adjectives that we use to describe [[materials]].: Property'''Properties''' you should know are:*[[Hardness]]*[[Solubility]]*[[Opacity]]*[[Electrical Conductivity]]*[[Thermal Conductivity]]*[[Magnetic Susceptibility|Response to Magnets]]
===Examples===
: [[Brick]] is hard. [[Fabric]] is soft.: [[Salt]] is soluble. Sand is insoluble.: [[Brick]] is opaque. [[Glass]] is '[[Transparent|transparent]]'.: [[Metal]] can is a good electrical conductor. [[conductPlastic (Material)|Plastic]] is a good electrical insulator.: [[electricityMetal]]is a good thermal conductor. Glass is a good thermal insulator.: [[Plastic (Material)|PlasticIron]] is magnetic. [[Copper]] is bendynot magnetic.
===Used in a Sentence===
: A property of [[glass]] is that it is '[[Transparent|transparent]]'.
: A property of [[Metal|metals]] is that they can [[Electrical Conductor|conduct electricity]] well.
: A property of [[Plastic (materialMaterial)|plastic]] is that it can be bent easily.
==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A '''property''' is [[Describe|description]] of a [[material]] or an [[object]] and how it behaves.
===Examples===
: [[Solid|Solids]] cannot be [[Compress|compressed]].
: [[Gold]] is more [[Density|dense]] compared to than [[Iron]].: [[Electron|Electrons]] are [[NegativeCharge|negatively]] [[Charge|charged]].
: [[Metal|Metals]] are [[shiny]], [[malleable]], [[ductile]], [[sonorous]] and they can [[Electrical Conductor|conduct electricity]] and [[Thermal Conductor|conduct thermal energy]] easily.
