2. gritty, smooth, waxy, etc.
3. the metric unit for time
4. how easily an object breaks or shatters
5. sweet, sour, salty, or bitter
6. the kind of property that does not depend on sample size
7. the ability to be drawn into a wire
8. bright and shiny, or dull
9. putrid, flowery, or choking, for example
10. measured by scratching different substances

14. the metric unit for length

down

1. the kind of observation that involves a measurement
2. the ability to be hammered into a sheet
3. the kind of property that depends on sample size
4. red, for example
5. the agreement between a measurement and the true value
6. the resistance of a liquid to flowing
7. the agreement between different measurements made the same way
8. the metric unit for mass

Explanation:

1. Across 3: State of matter can be solid, liquid or gas, so the answer is "state".
2. Across 4: Texture can be gritty, smooth, waxy etc., so the answer is "texture".
3. Across 5: The metric unit for time is second, so the answer is "second".
4. Across 8: Brittleness is how easily an object breaks or shatters, so the answer is "brittleness".
5. Across 9: Taste can be sweet, sour, salty or bitter, so the answer is "taste".
6. Across 11: Intensive property does not depend on sample - size, so the answer is "intensive".
7. Across 13: Ductility is the ability to be drawn into a wire, so the answer is "ductility".
8. Across 14: Luster can be bright and shiny or dull, so the answer is "luster".
9. Across 16: Odor can be putrid, flowery or choking, so the answer is "odor".
10. Across 17: Hardness is measured by scratching different substances, so the answer is "hardness".
11. Across 19: Qualitative observation describes the nature of something without measurement, so the answer is "qualitative".
12. Across 20: Solids can be crystalline or amorphous, so the answer is "crystalline/amorphous".
13. Across 21: Transparency can be clear, cloudy or opaque, so the answer is "transparency".
14. Across 22: The metric unit for length is meter, so the answer is "meter".
15. Down 1: Quantitative observation involves a measurement, so the answer is "quantitative".
16. Down 2: Malleability is the ability to be hammered into a sheet, so the answer is "malleability".
17. Down 6: Extensive property depends on sample - size, so the answer is "extensive".
18. Down 7: Color like red is an example of a property, so the answer is "color".
19. Down 10: Accuracy is the agreement between a measurement and the true value, so the answer is "accuracy".
20. Down 12: Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flowing, so the answer is "viscosity".
21. Down 15: Precision is the agreement between different measurements made the same way, so the answer is "precision".
22. Down 18: The metric unit for mass is gram, so the answer is "gram".
