Assignment 1 (group work):
TYPE OF MATERIAL | USE |
Metals | Used to make knives, forks, pots, pans, and ornaments. (There can be many other examples) |
Fibres | Curtains, mats, clothes are made from fibres. (There can be many other examples) |
Plastic | Plastic bowls, combs, brushes, etc. (There can be many other examples) |
Glass | Window panes, drinking glasses, wine glasses, ashtrays etc. (There can be many other examples) |
Wood | Furniture, tables, ornaments etc. (There can be many other examples) |
You already know that everything on earth consists of matter, (plants, animals, and non-living things) from a small speck of dust to a large planet.
A pane of glass in a window looks different from a drinking glass, but both are made from the same material, glass. Some substances may look similar and have the same colour but might differ in smell, taste, hardness, texture and elasticity. These are called the properties of materials and are used to describe the materials.
