This document contains information about an assignment for a Level 2 BTEC First Certificate in Applied Science course. The assignment requires students to: 1) Conduct a practical investigation into the physical properties of copper, glass, and brick and explain how these properties determine their uses. 2) Identify if samples of chemicals are solids, liquids, or gases at room temperature and pressure. 3) Explain why bricks are used for construction, copper wire for electricity, and glass for windows based on their physical properties. The assignment aims to demonstrate how the physical properties of materials determine their applications. Students must provide evidence that meets criteria on practical investigations and explaining material properties and uses.
