Properties of Earth Materials (K-4)
* Earth materials are solid rocks and soils, water, and the
gases of the atmosphere. The materials have different properties
which make them useful for different purposes, such as buildings, fuels,
and food. * Soils have properties of color and texture;
capacity to hold water, and grow plants. * Fossils provide
evidence about plants and animals that lived long ago and the nature of
the earth at that time. (NSES,
1996)
