# What's That Property?

  ![Image of What's That Property?](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/news/IMG_2858.JPG)  21 November 2024

Today we investigated the properties of some materials and objects.

We talked about what a property is and learned what absorbent, transparent, opaque, stretchy, bouyant and bendy mean.

Given a selection of objects we sorted them according to whether they had a certain property or not.  One group were not surprised to find a sponge is more absorbent  than a rock but others were confused when a piece of wood floated but a conker sank!

We will continue to investigate they best uses of materials...   ...watch this space!
