Materials in History - Objectives Labels

In Lesson 2.9 titled 'Materials in History', students are tasked with exploring and assessing various everyday materials for their appropriateness in specific applications. The materials in question include wood, metal, plastic, glass, brick, rock, paper, and cardboard. The objective is for students to not only identify these materials but also to critically compare their suitability, considering the demands of different uses. This hands-on approach to learning aims to deepen students' understanding of material properties and practical applications.

By the end of the lesson, students should be able to demonstrate their acquired knowledge by responding to key questions. They will be expected to describe the properties of the materials they have studied and make connections between those properties and the materials' suitability for particular tasks. This lesson is designed to encourage students to think analytically about the materials that surround them in their daily lives and understand the rationale behind material selection for various uses.
