SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY-In this module, students investigate the materials from which objects are made. They discover that all materials have properties, such as color, hardness, transparency, and absorbency, and that people select a material for a certain purpose according to the properties of the material. Students compare materials in terms of their response to puffs of air and water. They compare structures that are made of different materials and explain why certain structures are made of specific materials.
