Porous vs Non-Porous Materials

Teacher V introduces the concept of classifying materials based on their ability to absorb water. Porous materials, like sponges and cotton balls, have small holes that allow water to pass through, making them absorbent. Non-porous materials, such as rubber gloves and plastic bottles, do not allow water to pass through and are not absorbent. The video includes examples and a short activity to reinforce learning.
