What are some physical properties that you can observe with your senses?

Answer 1

You can use sight to look at a liquid, solid, and some dense gases. You can feel a liquid and a solid. You can taste a liquid, solid, and a gas. You can smell a liquid, solid, and a gas.

Answer 2

"anything you can think of! you can feel the texture of a rock, you can taste salt, you can smell sulfur (and it smells like rotton eggs!), you can see water ripples, anything at all!"

I think the single descriptive word would be 'property'. Or, our senses let us determine the 'properties' of matter.

Answer 3

You can visually observe the color, opacity, viscosity of a substance. You can listen for audible sounds emanating from the substance. You can waft air currents over the substance to see if you can smell anything - NEVER directly sniff an unknown substance. You could touch the substance while wearing chemical resistant gloves to determine texture. The only sense you absolutely should not use is the sense of taste as you could be accidentally ingesting a poision or toxin.

Answer 4

Visual: color, transparency/opacity etc.

Touch: rough or smooth, cool or hot, oily or dry etc.

Taste: salty, sweet, bitter, acidic etc. (obvious need for caution in this case)

Smell: sweet, pungent...etc. (obvious need for caution again since certain smells are

directly related to toxicity).

Answer 5

Colour, texture, luminescence, volume, taste, brightness, attractiveness (to you), relative acidity and alkalinity, or sweetness, bitterness and sourness...yikes, somebody help me out here!
