What makes a sponge soft, a metal shiny, or a rubber stretchy? The Properties Describing Quiz helps you explore how we describe materials using words that tell us what they look like, feel like, and how they behave.
Each question introduces you to different properties of materials, such as rough, smooth, hard, soft, flexible, transparent, and waterproof. You’ll build your science knowledge as you learn how scientists use these properties to group, compare, and choose materials for the right jobs.
As you play, you’ll strengthen your observation and classification skills by describing materials and matching them to their correct properties. You’ll see how every material has something special — a property that makes it useful and unique.
