Sorting matter by it's physical properties

Texture refers to the feel or surface quality of an object, such as rough, smooth, soft, or hard.

To sort matter means to arrange or classify objects based on their physical properties.

Physical properties are characteristics of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the substance, such as color, shape, weight, and texture.

Yes, we can sort matter by color, which is one of its physical properties.

Shape refers to the external form or appearance of an object, such as round, square, or triangular.

If an object is soft, it means it can be easily pressed or bent and is not hard.

If an object is hard, it means it is solid and difficult to press or bend.

Weight is the measure of how heavy an object is, which can be determined using a scale.

An example of sorting by texture is grouping items into soft (like a pillow) and hard (like a rock).

An example of sorting by shape is organizing objects into circles (like a ball) and squares (like a box).
