According to the lesson plan, what should students do after conducting material tests?
Record the properties and discuss their suitability
Throw away the materials
Ignore the results
Only memorize the material names
Why is it important to compare the properties of materials such as steel and acrylic?
To determine their suitability for different applications
To find out which one is more expensive
To see which one is heavier

Their country of origin
Their color only
A student observes that a material bends easily without breaking. Which property is being tested?
Flexibility
Hardness
Density
Transparency
How does the lesson plan suggest that students demonstrate their understanding of material properties?
By creating a chart comparing two materials and giving examples of their uses
By memorizing the periodic table
By writing a story about materials
By drawing a picture of a material
Which of the following best defines a metal?
A substance that is always non-magnetic and brittle.
A material that is typically conductive and malleable.
A compound that cannot conduct electricity.
A material that is always liquid at room temperature.
What is the main difference between ferrous and non-ferrous metals?
Ferrous metals contain iron, while non-ferrous metals do not.
Ferrous metals are always non-magnetic, while non-ferrous metals are magnetic.
Non-ferrous metals are always heavier than ferrous metals.
Ferrous metals cannot conduct electricity.
Which property is commonly associated with metals?

Which of the following is an example of an engineering use of metals?
Making paper
Building bridges
Growing plants
Producing plastic bags
A student is given a magnet and several metal samples. How can they classify the samples as ferrous or non-ferrous?
By checking if the metal floats in water
By observing if the metal is shiny
By testing if the metal is attracted to the magnet
By measuring the temperature of the metal
You are asked to find three everyday objects made of metal and identify whether they are ferrous or non-ferrous. What reasoning should you use to explain your choices?
Whether the object is heavy or light
Whether the object is magnetic and contains iron

They are rigid and heat resistant.
They soften when heated and are recyclable.
They cannot be recycled and do not soften.
They are always used in electrical engineering.
What is the main difference between thermoplastics and thermosets in terms of their response to heat?
Thermoplastics are heat-resistant, while thermosets soften when heated.
Both thermoplastics and thermosets soften when heated.
Thermoplastics soften when heated, while thermosets are rigid and heat-resistant.
Thermosets are recyclable, while thermoplastics are not.
Which of the following is an example of an engineering application of thermosets?
Flexible packaging
Rigid, heat-resistant components
Soft drink bottles
Plastic bags
If you were to match a plastic that is recyclable and softens with heat to its type, which would it be?
Thermoset
