Question

identify characteristics associated with...

identify characteristics associated with graphite by placing each characteristic in the appropriate category.

labels:

• hard to erase
• the pencil
• carbon
• use of color
• has a slight sheen

drop zones:

• characteristic of graphite (1/2)
• not characteristic of graphite (2/2)

Explanation:

Analyze graphite composition and tools

We examine the labels using Drawing Media and Traditional Drawing Tools. Graphite is a crystalline form of the element Carbon. It is the standard material used inside The pencil (specifically, graphite pencils).

Evaluate physical properties of graphite

Graphite is known for being easy to erase, so "Hard to erase" is incorrect. When applied heavily, graphite naturally Has a slight sheen (a metallic luster). It is monochromatic, meaning "Use of color" does not characterize standard graphite.

Categorize each label

We sort the labels into the two designated drop zones:

• Characteristic of Graphite: "The pencil", "Carbon", "Has a slight sheen".
• NOT Characteristic of Graphite: "Hard to erase", "Use of color".

Answer:

Category	Labels
NOT Characteristic of Graphite	"Hard to erase", "Use of color"
