- aluminum foil
- copper wire
- rubber band
The graph compares materials for magnetic attraction. Which material rates highest?
- steel
- wood

Why is solubility in water useful for making a saltwater solution?
- the material's name is the only evidence needed
- matter has no measurable properties
- all materials share the same properties
- the property matches the job the material must do
