Pick the Best Property – An Interactive Materials Game for Year 4
Bring chemical science to life with this Google Slides/PowerPoint interactive game designed especially for Year 4 students learning about materials, their properties, and why those properties matter.
This self‑checking digital activity challenges students to examine an everyday object, consider what it’s made of, and choose the most valuable material property for its purpose.
Which Material Property Is Most Important?
Throughout the game, students explore a wide range of material properties, including:
- water resistance
- absorbency
- softness
- hardness
- flexibility
- transparency
- durability
- strength
Each slide presents students with an image of an everyday object, such as a raincoat, towel, window, sponge, helmet, or saucepan, and asks them to pick the property that matters most when designing or using that item.
