Materials around us, materials everywhere, Wood and paper, glass and metal we share. Plastic and clay, cloth and more, Materials make the things we use every day.
We can group and classify, By properties we can identify. Shiny or dull, hard or soft, Different materials have properties of their own.
Transparent lets us clearly see, Like glass and water, clear to me. Translucent lets some light pass through, Opaque blocks the view from you.
Some dissolve in water, some do not, Sugar and salt dissolve a lot. Sand and sawdust stay the same, Soluble and insoluble are their names.
Materials can be heavy, materials can be light, Mass tells us which one has more or less might. Space that matter takes is volume we say, Litres and millilitres measure it each day.
Anything with mass and space is matter, Water, sand and cups all matter. Materials make objects, both big and small, Materials around us are part of all.
