Objects Around Us
Objects around us are made of different materials like wood, metal, plastic, glass, cotton, and paper.
Why Do We Sort Materials?
- To study them easily
- To understand their uses

Properties of Materials
1. Appearance
Materials may look shiny or dull. Metals like gold and iron are shiny.
2. Hardness
Some materials are hard (stone, iron) while some are soft (cotton, sponge).
3. Soluble or Insoluble in Water
Substances that dissolve in water are called soluble (salt, sugar). Substances that do not dissolve are insoluble (sand, chalk).
4. Objects That Float or Sink
Some objects float on water (wood, plastic ball). Some objects sink in water (stone, iron nail).
5. Transparency
- Transparent: Allow light to pass (glass, water)
