Today students explored four different materials and tested different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose -- a hat that protects us from the sun and absorbs sweat. We tested materials for softness, stiffness, and absorbency.
This science unit develops the idea that by taking advantage of the properties of materials, we can solve many problems in our lives. Students will develop an appreciation for the manmade materials of everyday objects, and learn to recognize that those materials are chosen based on their properties. We choose to make things out of materials that have the properties we need or want.
