Additional Practice Questions
Why can't we use fabric to make tables?
easyAnswer: Fabric is soft and flexible, making it unsuitable for making tables which require hard and rigid materials.
List and explain the characteristics of solid, liquid, and gas.
mediumAnswer: Solids have a fixed shape, liquids take the shape of their container, and gases flow freely and expand to fill their container.
How do transparent, translucent, and opaque materials differ?
mediumAnswer: Transparent materials allow clear vision through them, translucent materials allow partial light pass-through, and opaque materials do not allow light to pass through.
Describe the process of how metals are extracted.
hardAnswer: Metals are extracted from ores dug up from inside the Earth, then processed to remove impurities.
Why is it important to differentiate between natural and artificial materials?
easyAnswer: Differentiating helps us understand their sources, uses, and how they impact the environment.
