Check understanding
- Define and test for at least four properties: hardness, solubility, conductivity, magnetism
- Group a set of materials based on test results for each property
- Use results to explain why certain materials are chosen for specific uses (e.g. copper for wires because it conducts electricity)
“Can your child test materials and sort them by whether they dissolve in water, conduct electricity, or are attracted to a magnet?”
