Monday: A coat for Nova

Gray clouds roll over the workshop.

Nova wants to fly in the rain, but she must stay dry.

Rocket grabs a paper towel. "I will make a rain coat!"

Raven frowns. "What do you notice about paper towels and water?"

Nova tilts. "Hint: a good coat keeps water out."

Properties match jobs

Every job needs the right material.

A rain coat must be waterproof.

Waterproof means it keeps water out.

A paper towel is absorbent.

Absorbent means it soaks up water.
