NameDate
Observation: water beads on it instead of soaking in. Which property is shown?
- transparency
- water resistance
- malleability
- elasticity
Which test would best check for solubility in water?
- stir equal amounts into cups of water
- touch each sample with a magnet
- place each material in a simple circuit gap
- drop equal water amounts on each sample
Which material best matches this evidence: it bends and keeps the new shape?
- chalk
- rubber band
- aluminum foil
- wax paper
The graph compares materials for water resistance. Which material rates highest?
- cloth
- paper
- wax
- all are equal
Why is elasticity useful for holding index cards together?
- all materials share the same properties
- the property matches the job the material must do
- the material's name is the only evidence needed
- matter has no measurable properties
Observation: it bends and keeps the new shape. Which property is shown?
- malleability
- elasticity
- magnetic attraction
- water resistance
Which test would best check for electrical conductivity?
- stretch each sample the same distance and release it
- rub each sample once on black paper
- place each material in a simple circuit gap
- drop equal water amounts on each sample
Which material best matches this evidence: it stretches and returns to its shape?
- copper wire
- rubber band
- glass bead
- wax paper
The graph compares materials for transparency. Which material rates highest?
- card
- foil
- glass
- all are equal
Why is electrical conductivity useful for choosing a material for a wire?
- all materials share the same properties
- the property matches the job the material must do
- the material's name is the only evidence needed
- matter has no measurable properties
