Kelly is trying to decide which item number is most likely describing the seashell below based on its observable properties. Looking at the data table, which item is the best match?
Kelly is trying to decide which item number is most likely describing the seashell below based on its observable properties. Looking at the data table, which item is the best match?
The item that is most likely describing the seashell is "Item 1". A seashell has all of the matching observable properties, so it could be classified in the same category. A seashell is hard, does not bounce, is irregularly shaped, tan, and would feel rough to the touch. None of the other items would be a match.

Ralph made a table with the descriptions of four mystery items, and his friend Steven had to guess which item was describing a teddy bear's observable property. Which item should Steven choose as the teddy bear's description?
Ralph made a table with the descriptions of four mystery items, and his friend Steven had to guess which item was describing a teddy bear's observable property. Which item should Steven choose as the teddy bear's description?
Steven should guess "Item 4" is a match to his teddy bear because they share the same observable properties. The teddy bear is brown, soft, smooth, would not bounce, and is an irregular shape. The other items could not be classified as a teddy bear.

Which answer choice could be classified as "Item 2"?
Which answer choice could be classified as "Item 2"?
"Item 2" is described as hard, not bouncy, square, green, and smooth to the touch. When reviewing the answer choices, they are all green but have other observable properties that would not allow them to be classified as "Item 2". The tennis ball is round, the block is rough on top and rectangular, and the leaves are irregular shaped. The only answer choice that matches the characteristics is the cube.

Observable properties classify all of the items listed. What observable property are all of the items in "Category 3" sorted by?
Observable properties classify all of the items listed. What observable property are all of the items in "Category 3" sorted by?
Observable properties are characteristics of an object or material that can be gathered using the five senses. When looking through each category, there is a common property that groups the items. In "Category 3," all of the items are brown, so they are classified by color.

Observable properties classify all of the items listed. Which category would Rishi put a green gummy bear in based on its properties?
A green gummy bear would not fit into any of the categories based on its observable physical characteristics. "Category 1" is all rectangular or square objects, "Category 2" are round items, and "Category 3" is all brown items. A green gummy bear would need to be placed in a new category.

Which answer choice could be classified as "Item 4"?
When looking at items or materials, we can classify them based on their observable properties. If we look at the different descriptions of all four items and then think about a tennis ball, some similarities can be found between item 4 and a tennis ball. They can be described with the same properties, so they fall into the same category.

When looking at items or materials, we can classify them based on their observable properties. If we look at the different descriptions of all three items and then think about a baseball, some similarities can be found between item 2 and a baseball. They can be described with the same properties, so they fall into the same category.

Observable properties are characteristics of an object or material that can be gathered using the five senses. When looking through each category, there is a common property that groups the items. In "Category 3," all of the things are brown, so they are classified by color. In "Category 2," all of the items are round, so they are sorted by shape. In "Category 1," all of the things are square or rectangular, so they are also categorized by shapes. The category that a notebook would best fit in is "Category 1".

"The object I am thinking of is round, smooth, hard, and reddish in color." Which object is she thinking about?
The object that Brittany is thinking about has to be round, reddish in color, hard, and smooth. The yarn is soft, the baseball is white, and the mushroom is rough with a bottom that is not round, so none of these items meet ALL of the properties. The floating ball is red, hard, smooth, and round, so it meets all of the characteristics listed. Observable properties are a way to describe an item or material and gather information about the world around you.

Angie is using observable properties to describe an object. Observable properties are characteristics describing an item or material gathered with our five senses. The only item that completely meets all of the same features is the peas. The egg is hard, the green beans are not round, and the chickpeas are tan.

The properties of materials include features such as color, size, and shape, whether they are rough or smooth, shiny or dull, hard or soft, and flexible or stiff.

This is a true statement. Properties of materials can be determined by using the five senses. Once the features of an item have been identified, the items can be described, classified, or sorted by this information.

Properties are characteristics or features used to describe an item, object, or material. There are measurable and observable properties for all objects. Measurable properties are things like mass, weight, height, and volume. A tool must be used to find a measurable property. An observable property is found by using the five senses.

Daria can describe her kitten using observable properties. Observable properties are characteristics of an item, person, material, or even animal that are collected using the five senses. This kitten is tan, brown, soft, not bouncy, squishy, and warm. Using the senses of touch and sight, these features can be determined.

This is a false statement. The observable properties of materials can be determined by using the five senses.

Examples of these types of features would be height, weight, volume, mass, etc..
