In the world around us, objects have different properties. Two important properties are hardness and softness. Hard objects resist being scratched or dented, while soft objects are easily scratched or dented. For example, a rock is hard, but a pillow is soft. Understanding these differences helps us describe and categorize the things we see and touch every day!
Sorting objects into hard and soft categories is a fun way to learn about their properties. We can touch, feel, and even try to scratch them to figure out which category they belong to. This is a great way to develop our observation skills!
Match the word with its definition:
| Word | Definition |

| 1. Hard | A. Easily scratched or dented |
| 2. Soft | B. The quality of an object that resists being scratched |
| 3. Property | C. A characteristic used to describe something |
| 4. Scratch | D. To mark or damage the surface of something with a sharp object |
| 5. Dent | E. A hollow mark in the surface of something, caused by pressure or an impact |
Use the words hard, soft, and properties to complete the sentences.
