Metals
The majority of metals are hard but some can be sliced with a cutting tool.
What is hardness
Aversion to decay and chemicals.
What is durability
Alters between hardwoods and softwoods.
What is density
They may hold out against very high temperatures.
What is high melting points
The majority of metals are heavy for their size.
What is High Density
Generally lightweight
What is Low Density
Wood has a grain pattern that can affect strength and appearance.
What is Grain
Ceramics are typically hard.
What is Hardness
What do you call metals that may be shaped or rolled into narrow sheets?
What is malleability
What do you call something you can return to their original form after being stretched or compressed?
What is elasticity
What is a bad conductor of heat?
What is thermal insulation
What is it called when ceramics are very brittle?
What is brittleness
What is it when most metals have a shiny appearance and can reflect light?
What is Luster
What is usually poor conductors of electricity and heat?
What is Poor conductors
What is it when presence of minute gaps or spaces, makes wood good for acoustics?
What is Porosity
What is it when ceramics like porcelain are used as electrical insulators because they resist electrical conductivity?
What is Electrical Insulators
What is it called when metals can be drawn out into wires?
What is ductility
What is it called when something can be molded into a huge lineup of shapes and sizes?
What is versatility
What is it called when wood's strength and properties vary in different directions?
What is anisotropic
What is it called almost all ceramics don't conduct heat well?
What is thermal insulators
