About this Unit
Print AllIn this unit, students explore the properties of materials! They describe and classify different types of materials by properties like hardness, flexibility, absorbency, and the ability to conduct heat. Then, they determine which materials have properties best suited for certain types of clothing, cooking, and buildings. They also build card towers to explore how a small set of the same pieces can be disassembled and then reconstructed into a new object with different characteristics.
