Advanced Material Properties
Science · Matter & Materials · conceptual
Compare and group everyday materials based on advanced properties: hardness, solubility, transparency, electrical and thermal conductivity, and response to magnets
What mastery looks like
- Define and test for at least four properties: hardness, solubility, conductivity, magnetism
- Group a set of materials based on test results for each property
- Use results to explain why certain materials are chosen for specific uses (e.g. copper for wires because it conducts electricity)
Check your understanding
Can Advanced Material Properties test materials and sort them by whether they dissolve in water, conduct electricity, or are attracted to a magnet?
