Correct answer: D
The correct answer is A physical change in shape.
Pressing clay changes its shape while the clay material remains clay.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is Materials have properties and can change in ways we can observe.
Matter has observable properties, and heating, cooling, cutting, mixing, or shaping can cause changes.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Group them using shared properties.
Classifying means grouping materials by shared properties such as state, texture, hardness, or color.
The three common states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids keep their shape, liquids flow, and gases spread through available space.
Properties such as hardness, flexibility, absorbency, and transparency help people compare materials and choose the right one for a job.
