This week we went back to the idea that by taking advantage of the properties of materials, we can solve many problems in our lives. Students explored the material properties involved in meeting basic needs. Today they thought about the question, "Why do we wear clothes?" Clothes are used for more than just protecting modesty. They are also used to protect us from the elements and even insects. Students explored the different properties of materials used for clothing and selected materials to construct a hat that protects them from the sun. In addition to shielding from the sun, the hat also needed to be sweat-absorbing and comfortable to wear.
