๐ Topic Summary
Everything around us is made of different materials, and these materials determine what an object is used for. For example, a window is made of glass because glass is transparent and lets light through. A spoon is made of metal or plastic because these materials are strong enough to scoop food. Understanding materials helps us understand the world better!
