a liquid such as water. If a material is not


absorbent then it is often waterproof.

completely see-through. If you can’t see
through it, it is called opaque.

A material is strong if it is very hard or
impossible to break. If a material is
easily breakable then it is weak.

A material is flexible if it is able to bend
without breaking. If a material is not
flexible it is known as rigid.
