📚 Topic Summary
Everything around us is made of materials. Some materials are strong, which means they can hold a lot of weight or handle a lot of force without breaking. Think of a metal car or a wooden table. Other materials are weak, meaning they break easily when you put force on them. Think of a paper cup or a thin piece of glass. Understanding which materials are strong and which are weak helps us build things that last!
