In this unit, students will make the distinction between objects and materials through investigation of the observable characteristics of objects and the specific properties of the materials from which the objects are made. Students will learn that a structure is not only an object in itself but also the supporting framework that holds an object together. They will also investigate how the materials and structure of an object determine its purpose.
