Lesson 2 I can explain why some materials are not suitable for particular uses.
Spoon race Collect spoons from different materials. Also make a spoon from paper or foil. You are going to have a race with the spoons. You will be racing against each other to move the sugar from one bowl to another one using the spoons on your tables. You all have the same amount of sugar in your bowls to keep it as a fair test. Why is that important? After 2 minutes, we will swap our spoons round. Which spoon was the best? Which one was the worst? Why do you think that is?
Same object but different materials. When would you use these spoons?
