This week we have started our science topic on materials and their properties. Have a look around your house. What materials can you spot? Why are they used? Try to use the key vocabulary we learned in class:
transparent
translucent
opaque
hard
soft
strong
breakable
flexible
waterproof
absorbent
For example the walls are made out of brick because it is strong, so it does not fall down in the wind. Brick is also opaque which is great because it means you have privacy to change and shower. In addition, brick is waterproof, so when it rains the water does not come in and make us wet.
Cloth is fabric made from wool, cotton or a similar fibre.
ReplyDeleteWool cloths are soft, dishcloths are super absorbent.

ReplyDeleteWhat is your roof made of ? Why?
In my house my table is made of wood, it is hard and opaque. The windows are made of glass they're breakable and transparent. In the kitchen the sponge is opaque and absorbent. My sunglasses are opaque and translucent. The roof is made of bricks because it is waterproof so it does not let rain inside the house. My brother's belt is flexible and opaque. Cotton wool is soft and opaque.
ReplyDeleteThe windows in our house are made out of glass so we can see outside and they are waterproof and transparent.

ReplyDelete2.Tracing paper is translucent so that you can see to some extent through it. They are used to copy and draw designs.
3.Wood is opaque. It is used to make table and chairs because it is strong and hard.
4.Leather is soft. It is used to make purses because it is smooth and stiff to hold cards and money.
5.Paper is breakable because it is thin. It is used to make pads and study books.
6.Plastic is flexible because it can be moulded into milk cans and drinking water bottles.
7.Rubber is waterproof and used to make welly boots. It is a material which prevents water from entering.
8.Sponge is absorbent because it can suck water through the holes. They are used to clean utensils as they suck up the soapy water.
