Materials
Today's lesson is all about finding out what objects are made from and which materials suit what the object will be used for. For example:
Would you make a teapot out of chocolate?
A chocolate teapot would melt when you poured hot water into it. It would be better to make it from a material that doesn’t melt easily.
Our starter activity below will help you to think about what materials are used and why.
Today we are going to carry out a simple test to see which material would be best for an umbrella. You can use materials from around your home to test using the investigation in the link below.
