Natural & Processed Materials. Term 3, 2008
Observable properties • Secret bags and boxes. • Identify items by touch. • Natural and Man-made • Tennis ball, eggs, sweet and other potatoes, rocks. • Look at property of each and group accordingly- • Shape • Size- microscopic • Texture- cotton wool & concrete • Density- heavy stone, light polystyrene ball • Temperature- feathers, wool, stones & concrete (in fire, sun, cold water), ice • Use- glass, wood, metal & plastic • Look at composite items, like a car and list all the materials and their uses • Personal preference. Why? • Test strength, hardness, stretchability.
ElasticityTake a 10 cm piece, and stretch it and measure again.
HARDNESS0 very soft 10 very hardUse a stick and rub for 1 minute.
CHANGE OF STATESolid, liquid and gas Interesting mixtures. Clay in water Fizzy drinks Cornflour and water Volcanic rock
