4. Try to find out at least 3 properties for each powder, and show them on your chart.
5. After you have examined each powder, write down what you think it is.

You have black paper for putting powders on so that you can examine them more easily. You also have spatulas, tweezers, hand lenses, eye droppers for putting water with the substances, and some empty beakers.
