Materials can be man made or natural(from animals or plants).
Different kinds of materials have different purposes because of the different properties they have.
- strength(strong) - ability to support heavy loads without breaking
- hardness(hard/soft) - ability to withstand scratches
- flexibility - ability to bend without breaking
- sink or float - stay afloat or sink to the bottom
- waterproof - does not absorb water
*be very careful when answering questions. If the question is asking for an example of an object, DO NOT LIST A MATERIAL. You have to provide an example of an object (metal spoon, leather gloves etc).
If question asks for an example of a material, provide the materials (wood, plastic, glass, metal, rubber, leather etc) and not AN OBJECT.
*when comparing only two items, use more or less
*when comparing more than two, use most, least, heaviest, lightest.
