Topic: Materials 

Sub Topic: Properties of Materials

Objectives:         1. Classify materials based on their properties and uses

                           2.  Recognise that objects may be made of one or more materials.

Notes:

The properties of material refers to how the materials behave in their natural state, how they feel and substances they are made from.

Some properties of materials: 

1. Hardness -    The term of hardness is also referred to stiffness or temper, or to resistance to bending, scratching, abrasion, or cutting.                               It   is  the property of a material, which gives it the ability to resist being permanently, deformed when a load is applied.

 

2. Strength -      The term strength refers to a solid material that can withstand strain and pressure.

 

3.Absorbency-  Refers to a material that is able to absorb other substances.

 

4. Transparency- Which allows light to completely pass through them are called transparent  material.. ..

 

5.Flexibility - A flexible object or material can be bent easily without breaking.
