Knowledge
Students know:
- Properties of materials (e.g., strength, flexibility, hardness, texture, absorbency) Different uses for the materials.
- The relationship between properties of materials and some potential uses (metal is strong, paper is absorbent, etc.).
Skills
Students are able to:
- Conduct simple tests to collect and display data about the physical properties of various materials.
- Analyze data to identify and describe relationships between properties and their potential uses.
Understanding
Students understand that:
- Simple tests can be designed to gather evidence about the relationship between properties of materials and their intended uses.
