Physical properties are observations made with the senses and observations that can be made without changing the object/substance.

Physical properties include: texture, shape, size, color, odor, volume, mass, weight, melting points, boiling points, and density [1]. The melting point and boiling point are related to changes of the state of matter. All matter may exist in any of three physical states of matter: liquids, solids, or gases [2].
