When we are making something, it is important to choose the right materials. You could build a good strong bridge from stone, but a bridge made of chocolate wouldn’t carry much weight.
It is OK to make a house from ice if you live near the North Pole but it wouldn’t be a good idea if you lived in a rainforest.
If you are building a place to live, choosing the right material for the job is very important!
In order to decide which materials are right for each job, we have to know something about the properties of the materials. This worksheet will help to test what you know about materials and their properties.
