  1. 1. (c) material — What it is made of is the material.
  2. 2. (d) lustre — That shine is lustre.
  3. 3. (a) sugar — Sugar dissolves in water.
  4. 4. (b) transparent — Transparent materials let you see through clearly.
  5. 5. An object is a thing; the material is what it is made of.
  6. 6. Soluble: sugar; insoluble: sand.
  7. 7. An object is a particular thing we can see or use, while the material is the substance from which that object is made. For instance, a spoon is an object, and it may be made of the material steel, plastic or wood. Importantly, the same object can be made from different materials — chairs can be wooden, plastic or metal — and the same material can be used to make many different objects — plastic is used for bottles, buckets, toys and chairs. Recognising this difference helps us describe and group the things around us.
