 Looking Back
In your last module (Module 2), you have learned to describe
what happen to solids when bent, pressed and hammered Let’s have a
simple activity to refresh your mind.
Given this tin can, describe what happened when it is bent, pressed
or hammered. Illustrate or draw on your notebook or a separate sheet of
paper

What happened when bent?

What happened when pressed?

What happened when hammered?

Brief Introduction

Solid materials can be cut. When solid materials are cut, their size
and shape may change, but no new material is formed. Hence, the only
physical appearance of the solid is changed when cut.
Solid materials can be cut with different tools depending on their type.
Some solid materials, like iron, steel, etc., can be cut using metal cutters or
machine cutters.

Solid materials can be hammered. When hammered, these materials

may change their size, shape or texture but no new substance is formed.
Solid materials like metals can be hammered into thin sheets without
breaking or cracking.

Some solid materials like hollow blocks can be hammered and break
down into smaller pieces.

Remember

● Solid materials can be changed in many ways.

● Solid materials can be cut. No new material is formed when you cut
the material but only the physical appearance like shape and size.
● Solid materials can be hammered. When hammered, these materials
may change their size and shape, but no new material is formed.
● Some materials like metals turn into thin sheets when hammered
while others like rocks, break into pieces when hammered.
