Study Notes
Properties of Materials
- Paper is not suitable for storing water due to its properties.
- Materials can be categorized as hard or soft based on their ability to resist scratching, cutting, or denting.
- A candle can be scratched easily with a fingernail, whereas a ceramic mug cannot.
- An empty drink can may be dented with fingers, but a piece of wood is much harder.
Testing Hardness
- To compare hardness, materials should be tested consistently.
- Materials such as mud, clay, stones, and various bottle tops can be tested for scratch resistance.
- Sort tested materials into groups: raw materials (e.g., stone, clay) and manufactured materials (e.g., plastics).
- Identify additional properties of each material, such as whether they are stiff or flexible.
Material Processing and Recycling
- Paper manufacturing involves rollers that drain water from a slurry of fibers, which is then dried.
- Companies often purchase and cut large rolls of paper for resale.
- Recycled paper starts as pulp mixed into a thick liquid before being processed.
Key Raw Materials
- Sand is essential for producing glass.
- Clay is a primary ingredient in ceramics.
- Coal and oil are important for creating plastics, paints, and fabrics.
- Wood and plant fibers are used for paper and leather.
- Fabrics can be derived from animal wool and hides.
Properties of Materials
- Understanding material properties is crucial for selecting the right materials for specific uses, such as a waterproof container for water storage.
- Liquid flow and gas behavior differ significantly; gases occupy space without maintaining a fixed shape.
States of Matter
- Three states of matter: solid, liquid, gas.
- A change of state occurs when a substance transforms due to temperature changes, such as:
- Melting: solid to liquid (e.g., butter in a frying pan).
- Evaporating: liquid to gas when heated enough.
- Condensing: gas to liquid when cooled.
- Solidifying: liquid to solid when cooled.
Gases and Air Composition
- Gases spread freely and can fill any container.
- Air is composed of various gases and cannot be seen or felt in its natural state.
- Closed spaces, like a balloon, can contain air, preventing it from escaping.
