- Hardness Resistance to scratching and pressure. Hardwood does not mark as easily as softwood.






- Strength Amount of force needed to break a material usually by pushing or pulling down.



-Toughness Resistance to breaking by cracking, opposite to ‘brittle’.



-Stiffness Amount of force needed to change the shape of a material, opposite to flexible.





- Elasticity Ability to return its original shape when a force is removed eg rubber band.

- Plasticity Ability to retain  the new shape when a force is removed eg plasticene.

- Absorbency Ability of a material to soak up a liquid.



- Waterproof Resistance to liquids, repels water.

                                                          INNOVATIVE MATERIALS

- Self-healing plastics and composing (materials that automatically repair themselves after damage). 



- Biomimetic materials (ones that "mimic" the best features of biological materials, found in nature)



- energy-absorbing plastics (which instantly harden to protect something fragile)

I thing that do this video it was very interesting and funny. Interestig because we kanow more things about ductility and maleability. And funny because I was with my friens and we lought a lot.
