Science Resource Description
In a mini quiz designed to test knowledge on the properties of different materials and their appropriate uses, participants are asked to identify the best material for various objects and purposes. For example, when considering what material is best for making a bouncy ball, the options provided are metal, rubber, and plastic. In another question, participants must decide which material is the most stretchy, choosing from elastic, cotton, or wool.

The quiz continues with questions focused on construction materials, asking which material is best for building a wall, with choices including brick, glass, and plastic. Another query requires identifying the most suitable material for making a window, with options such as metal, wood, and glass. Lastly, participants must determine the best material for making a roof, selecting from paper, slate, or wood. Each correct answer is worth two points, and participants are given 10 minutes to complete the quiz. This exercise encourages participants to think critically about the practical applications and characteristics of various materials in our everyday lives.
