Topic:
In science we will be starting our new topic about different materials and their properties. We will start by learning about what different properties materials can have and why that makes them suitable for certain jobs.
Task:
Read through the sheet of different properties that materials can have, then look around your home to see if you can find any materials with these properties. Afterwards you could try to explain why these properties are used in these certain materials.
For example, explain why windows are chosen to be made out of glass.
