2S - Science: Materials

Lesson: Science

Today, our science investigation involved testing 4 different materials for rigidity. We made our predictions based on what we already know about the properties of different materials then we carried out our investigations. To do this, we suspended weights from 4 items (metal can, wooden spoon, plastic ruler and cardboard). Once those items/materials began to bend, we recorded the weight needed to achieve this. 

we actually found that the wooden spoon would not bend at all with the weight. Wood was our most rigid material.  Cardboard was the least rigid.
