Q1 Unit Test - Science 4

(a)   is the process of taking in liquids in a gradual manner.

A material that can take

in liquids, such as water, is known to be (a)   .

A material is absorbent if it is (a)   . These materials are those with tiny holes that allow

liquids to pass through.

A material that cannot take in liquids is known to be (a)   .

A material is nonabsorbent if it is (a)   . A material does not soak up liquid due to its

smooth surface. This prevents the liquid from seeping into the material.

Porous materials allow liquids to pass through their

tiny holes.

• True

• True

• False

The materials with tiny holes that allow liquids to pass through

are considered porous materials.

• True
