Grade 5 Matter Quiz
Classify matter by its physical properties, separate mixtures, explore solutions and see why mass is conserved.
In this quiz you'll practise:
- Describe the properties of solids, liquids and gases
- Classify materials by magnetism, conductivity and relative density
- Separate mixtures and describe solutions
- Explain that mass is conserved when matter changes
Check each answer as you go. If you're not sure, you'll get a hint and another try. Every question has an explanation.
About this Grade 5 matter and its properties quiz
This free Grade 5 matter quiz explores the physical properties scientists use to describe and classify matter. Students compare solids, liquids and gases, test which materials are magnetic or conduct electricity, decide which objects sink or float, choose good thermal insulators, separate a mixture of iron filings and sand, and explain what happens when salt dissolves in water. A stretch question shows that mass is conserved when water freezes. The quiz is aligned to Texas TEKS and the Next Generation Science Standards for Grade 5, and every answer includes an explanation that tackles common misconceptions.
States of matter, physical properties, mixtures and solutions.
