Material Matters!
categories: Integrated
Did you know that most materials we use can be organised into 6 main categories?
Well, as 4T found out on Thursday at the Hands On Science Incursion – they can! There are 2 main groups and 3 sub categories:
NATURAL MATERIALS
– Animals
– Plants
– Rocks and Minerals
PROCESSED MATERIALS
Originating from:
– Animals
– Plants
– Rocks and Minerals
Along with the guidance of workshop leaders Liz and Janelle, 4T participated in a range of experiments where they tested various materials to see which was greatest at insulating heat, the strongest, absorbent and most flammable!
Here is a quick snapshot of the measuring, hypothesising, testing and recording from the day:

I was amazed at your ability to create such impressive reflections on your iPads and the depth of understanding you have gained about your experiments. I particularly enjoyed finding out more about the strength of different shopping bags and how mobile phone covers only partly protect a phone when it is dropped. Looking forward to seeing you at meet the scientist afternoon today. Mr Ingles

Thanks for commenting on our class blog.
We have been working hard on our experiments and it all payed off at meet the Scientist. I personnally really enjoyed that afternoon and I certainly did learn a new thing from that day, which was if you leave a paper boat in any liquid for too long it sinks!
Did you learn something? If so, what did you learn.
See you later,
Kara.

Thank you so very much for commenting on the 4T Blog! I hope you have enjoyed your stay!
I know that all of us have learnt so much this term and it has been wonderful. I certainly enjoyed this terms science unit, Material Matter! It has been very fun and we have enjoyed learning so much about science!
Thank Mr. Ingles
What property would you like to test and Why?
