Key Stage 4
Meaning
Physical Properties are features of a substance that can be observed without changing the substance itself.
Properties and Applications
| Material | Property | Application |
| Aluminium | High Melting Point | Jet engines so they don't melt as the fuel is burned inside them. |
| Glass | Transparent | Used for windows, containers for a light source and lenses to allow light through. |
| Aluminium | Low Density | Used in aircraft and cars to keep a low weight. |
| Uranium | High Density | Used in bullets and artillery shells to increase the momentum and then the force during a collision. |
| Plastic (Polymers) | Low Thermal Conductivity | Clothing, house insulation, handles for pots and pans to prevent extreme temperatures spreading from one region to another. |
| Metal | High Thermal Conductivity | Pots and pan to allow then to heat quickly to cook food. |
| Plastic (Polymers) | Low Electrical Conductivity | Covering wires to prevent electricity flowing out of the wires. |
| Copper | High Electrical Conductivity | Wires to allow electricity to pass through. |
| Ceramics (Bricks) | Hard | Walls to prevent damage from impact. |
| Metal | Malleable | Wires so they can be bent into new positions without breaking. |
| Copper | Ductile | Wires because they need to be stretched into shape. |
| Metal | Sonorous | Bells to make a sound when struck. |
