Title: Identify the properties of materials.
Course: Technology and Engineering Awareness (25051) > Section: Exploring Technology and Engineering Resources

Identification should include aspects of

- transparency
- hardness
- density
- boiling/melting points
- conduction vs. resistance
- elasticity
- plasticity
- brittleness
- fatigue

of materials such as

- wood
- plastics
- metal
- concrete
- glass.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why is understanding the properties of materials essential when working with those materials?
- What is fatigue in relation to material wear and tear?
- How do engineers rely on scientific knowledge to help understand materials?
