| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| groups | How we sort different objects |
| natural materials | materials found in nature |
| man-made materials | materials made by people |
| These are some natural materials | rock, metal and wood |
| This is a man-made material | plastic |
| physical properties help us | decide which materials are best for a job. |
| hardness | tells us how hard or soft something it is |
| strength | how strong something |
| some examples of strong materials are | metal and concrete |
| strong | materials that do not break easily when they are pushed or stretch |
| flexability | how much something can bend without breaking |
| transparency | something we can see through |
| a material that is transparent | glass |
| magnetic | something that is attracted to magnets |
| electrical conductor | electricity that ALLOWS electricity to flow through |
| I am an electrical conductor | metal |
| electrical insulator | materials that do NOT allow electricity to flow through them |
| I am an electrical insulator | plastic |
| heat conductor | I allow heat to pass through easily |
| heat insulator | a material that does NOT allow heat to pass through easily |
| I am a heat insulator | cloth |
| I am a heat conductor. You use me to cook | a metal pot or pan |
