Materials Around Us Solutions Overview
Chapter 6 explains that objects are made from materials such as paper, wood, cloth, glass, metal, plastic and clay. The solutions show how to classify these materials by common properties and choose suitable materials for daily use.

| Property | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Lustre | shiny surface | aluminium foil or copper |
| Hardness | difficult to compress or scratch | stone or iron |
| Transparency | how clearly we can see through it | glass, butter paper, wood |
| Solubility | whether it dissolves in water | sugar dissolves, sawdust does not |
| Matter | has mass and occupies space | apple, water, air |
Important Material Properties in Chapter 6
The exercise questions ask students to connect properties with real objects. For example, transparent containers help us see stored items, a plastic bin is useful for wet food waste, and a metal or hard plastic box is safer for broken glass.

- Transparent means objects can be seen clearly through the material.
- Opaque means we cannot see through the material.
- Soluble means the material mixes completely in water.
- Matter means anything that has mass and occupies space.
