I think metal will make the sharpest sword. Hypothesis
We found some materials for swords We used knives because it was safer • We picked stuff to cut Things that are OK to cut with knives • We cut things to see which one was sharpest • We wrote things down Procedure
Results Cutting wood with metal
Results Cutting banana with plastic
Results Cutting tomato with wood
Results Cutting banana (no peel) with paper
Hypothesis was correct – metal was best • I also learned plastic was the second best It cut almost as many things as the metal • Wood was the third best It tore and squished stuff more than cut • Paper cut nothing except banana with no peels Conclusions
