Worksheet Overview

Everything around us in the world is made of a material.

The material can be categorised into whether it is a solid, liquid or a gas.

 

Each material has properties. These properties are what makes each material unique and suitable for different purposes.  

 

Some materials have similar properties but are not suitable for the same uses.
