Properties of Materials →
Why do things have different properties?

Learning Objectives

 * The student is expected to analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.
 * The student is expected to make observations to construct an evidence-based account of how an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object.
