This document discusses materials that can absorb water. It defines absorption as taking in liquid gradually. It instructs students to classify examples like paper, cotton balls, and towels as absorbing or not absorbing water. Students are then asked to collect 10 materials from home to test which absorb water and record their findings.

SOLID LIQUID GAS

3. Absorb
 to take in (something,
such as liquid) in a

7. Elaboration
 Some of the material absorb water more than others.
Cotton is very porous, which makes it a natural absorber
of water.
 Porous materials are materials are materials having small
holes that allow air or liquid to pass through.

8. Evaluation: Classify the materials according to their ability to absorb
water. Write A on the blank if it absorbs water and D if it does not absorb.
____1. paper ____ 4. towel
____ 2. cotton ball ____ 5. raincoat
____ 3. cellophane

9. Go around your home. Collect at least 10 materials
and test them as to whether or not the materials
absorb water. write your findings on your
assignment notebook.
