SOL 1.3 The student will investigate and understand that objects are made from materials that can be described by their physical properties. Key ideas include:

a) objects are made of one or more materials with different physical properties and can be used for a variety of purposes;

b) when a material is changed in size most physical properties remain the same; and

c) the type and amount of material determine how much light can pass through an object.
