Grade 4 science quiz: Understanding material properties.

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🧱 Hardness: 💪 A material's ability to resist scratching or denting. Diamonds are very hard!
• 💧 Flexibility: 🤸 The ability of a material to bend without breaking. Rubber bands are flexible.
• 🔨 Strength: 🏋️ The ability of a material to withstand a force without breaking. Steel is strong.
• ✨ Transparency: 👓 The ability to see through a material. Glass is transparent.
• 🌫️ Opacity: 🌑 The inability to see through a material. Wood is opaque.
• 🌊 Water Resistance: ☔️ The ability of a material to repel water. Plastic is water-resistant.
• 🌡️ Thermal Conductivity: 🔥 How well a material conducts heat. Metals conduct heat well.
• ⚡️ Electrical Conductivity: 💡 How well a material conducts electricity. Copper is a good electrical conductor.
