Big Ideas
- Different materials have unique physical properties that determine how they can be used to create or modify objects.
- Choosing the right materials for a task requires understanding and applying knowledge of physical properties.
Essential Questions
- How do the physical properties of materials affect the way they can be combined or used?
- What physical properties would make a material the best choice for building or modifying an object?
- How can combining different materials change the strength or function of an object?
- Why is it important to justify your choice of materials when solving a problem?
- In what ways can you test and compare the properties of materials to make informed choices?
