What to Focus On
- Material means any substance used to make an object.
- One object can be made from more than one material.
- The same material can be used for many different objects.
- Classification means arranging objects into groups.
- Grouping is done on the basis of common properties.
- Classification helps in studying patterns easily.
- Lustrous materials have a shiny surface.
- Metals usually have lustre.
- Some metals become dull because of air and moisture.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
All that glitters is gold, or at least all shiny materials are the same kind of material.
Hard means heavy, and soft means light.
Hard and soft are fixed labels, so one material is always hard or always soft in every comparison.
