[Expected answers metal (metal ruler), wood (chair), glass (spectacle), rubber (balloon), plastic (plastic bag).] 5. Teacher distributes one different object and a worksheet (Worksheet 1) to each group while another teacher giving the pupils instruction by asking them to do prediction on the various properties of the object that given with their group members. Then, pupils need to record their prediction on the worksheet. 1. Teacher distributes all the materials needed for the experiment and Worksheet 2 to each group. 2. Teacher gives pupils
