How can you describe something if you

don't know what it is?

PROPERTIES OF
MATTER
 Learning Competencies

1. distinguish between physical and chemical

properties and give examples
(STEM_GC11MP-Ia-b-3)
2. distinguish between extensive and intensive
properties and give examples
(STEM_GC11MP-Ia-b-4)
3. use properties of matter to identify substances
and to separate them (STEM_GC11MP-Ia-b-
5)
