What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will learn about the different sources of materials and how they are used to make objects.
We will look at examples of materials like wood, metal, and plastic.
We will also learn how to classify objects based on their basic sources.
Next, we will explore the properties of materials.
We will do activities to understand properties like hardness, flexibility, and transparency.
We will also learn how these properties affect the way materials are used.
Finally, we will use our knowledge of material properties to create our own object.
By the end of this chapter, we will have a better understanding of where materials come from and how their properties can be used to make things.
