Can you use the correct vocabulary words to describe the properties of matter?  Imagine a crumpled ball of aluminum foil.  What are some of it's physical properties?

Physical Properties of the aluminum crumpled ball:

-sharp
-shiny
-rough
-no smell
-no sound
-light weight
-silver
-small
-desnsity
-malleability/fexible

It would be sharp and you could hold it in your hand. It might also be heavy because your putting it into a ball. It will probaly be shiny and will have a grayish color. It will be flexible becuase you took aluminum and crumbled it up into a ball. some vocabulary words would be: smell,feel,color,smooth,rough,shiny,dull,flexible,malleability,odor,texture,mass,size,density,volume,length,ductility.

The crumbled up foil ball,would feel rough,the color is grey,The size is small,and it can be flexible

It would be sharp/rough. It would not have an odor. It is ductle it can be turned into a wire.It would be shiny and its color would be silver.It would not be to heavy it would be preety lite.

The ball of aluminum fiol is a metalic gray. The foil its selfe is thin, fragile, and flexible. It texture is smooth when it is not crumbled up, but when it is crumbled it is rough and sort of sharp at the pointy edges.

The first physical propertie of the aluminum foil rough. Secondly, The size is not micro and its not gigantic but its a perfect size.Thirdly, The foil ball is very shiny and it reflects off the light. Finally, There is no odor towards the ball.

Since the ball of aluminum is crumpled up it feels rough and kind of pointy Even though the aluminum itself is smooth. The ball of aluminum does not really have a smell. The ball of aluminum is shiny. The ball of aluminum is about the size of a golfball. The color of the aluminum ball is silver. The ball of aluminum is malleability which means it can bo pounded into thin sheets.

A crompled ball of a aluminum foil is smooth if you flatten it.If you just let it go it has jagged edges that are sharp.It's malleable.It's silver and shiny.

Some physical properties of an aluminum ball are, the texture of the aluminum ball would be that it is rough, it is rough because it is crumpled. Another physical property would be that it is shiny. One other physical property of a crumpled up alumionum ball would be, that the aluminium is ductile, which means you can pull it into wires. The size of an aluminum ball depends on how much aluminum you use to crumple it up. Proabably about the size of a softabll or a baseball. The aluminum ball is malleable, that means you can make it flat.

The aluminum foil would be silver and rough but smooth at the same time.Also light with a small mass. It will be a relatively small ball and will be sharp on the edges.

The ball of alumium would have a rough surface. The alumium ball would be the shape of a sphere. You would be able to bend it and shape it other ways because it is alumium and alumium is flexible and is also malleable. It would be a shiny gray color.

smell? aluminum foil has no smell.
feel? it is capeiable of being flattened. this is called malleability. it is silver and thin in a sheet form normaly. it is smooth at first but when it is crumpled up even if it is flattened back out it will be rough.

Physical properties of a crumpled aluminum ball:
1)shiny
2)silver
3)malliable
4)rough)
5)size

You can use vocabulary words to describe the properties of matter. Some examples are: density, mass, luster, volume, texture, odor, length, width, texter, color, etc. Like, a ball of aluminum foil is shiny, crinkly, and silver.
