A three-column diagram builds up one object at a time: a raincoat that rain runs off is waterproof, a window you can see the outdoors through is see-through, and a pillow that squashes under a sleeping head is soft. When the window turns to wood we can no longer see out, so it goes back to glass, and the video ends with "Pick the material that fits the job!"

What the lesson says
Which material is best for the job?
A raincoat keeps us dry in the rain.
Its material is waterproof, so water cannot get in.
A window lets us look outside.
Its glass is see-through, so we can see out.
A pillow is for resting our head.
Its stuffing is soft, so it squashes gently.
Could we make a window from wood?
No! Wood is not see-through. We could not see out.
So we use glass for windows.
Pick the material that fits the job!
