Matter's Fingerprints

⚖️ We have a mystery piece of metal! Weigh its mass on a scale and measure its volume in water to find its density, then check the table to discover what it is. Interestingly, a piece twice as large has the exact same density because density depends on the material, not the amount! 🌡️ Boiling points work the same way. Doubling the amount doubles the boiling time, but the boiling temperature stays at 78°C. Higher heat only makes it boil faster without changing the temperature. 📋 Finally, let's read the table! Knowing melting and boiling points tells us whether a substance is solid, liquid, or gas at any temperature. At -50°C, ethanol is liquid while water is frozen solid. Made with code — remix it to add your own substances!
About this app
This interactive educational tool helps middle school students explore physical properties that identify substances, known as chemical fingerprints. Users can measure density using virtual scales and water displacement, observe boiling points under different volume and flame conditions, and inspect states of matter across various temperatures. The app demonstrates that intrinsic properties like density and boiling point remain constant regardless of sample size or heating power.
