Scarecrow Corner Test Notes

Priya's class sorts supplies beside the school garden scarecrow. An adult checks the objects for safe handling. The class looks at colors and gently feels surfaces to check texture. They change the object but use the same gentle press each time. A dent means soft in this test; no dent means hard. They also try the same gentle bend without forcing anything. They record whether each object bends easily or stays straight. These notes describe the tested samples.

Picture of a hatA — Cloth hat: Blue. Smooth. Dents when pressed. Bends easily.

Picture of a rockB — Rock: Gray. Rough. Does not dent when pressed. Stays straight in the bend test.

Picture of a ropeC — Rope: Brown. Rough. Dents when pressed. Bends easily.

Picture of a gloveD — Cloth glove: Blue. Fuzzy. Dents when pressed. Bends easily.

Picture of a blockE — Wooden block: Brown. Smooth. Does not dent when pressed. Stays straight in the bend test.

Picture of a beltF — Leather belt: Brown. Smooth. Does not dent when pressed. Bends easily.
