Which materials keep us dry? - Results table
Science Resource Description
The educational resource in question presents a results table for an experiment to determine which materials are effective at keeping us dry. The table is structured to guide students through an investigative process, starting with the question "Which material will keep me dry?" It prompts them to list the materials used in the experiment under "What we used." The next column, "What we did," is for detailing the steps taken during the experiment, while "What we found out" is intended for recording observations and conclusions about the effectiveness of each material in repelling water.
The resource also encourages students to think about the broader context of the materials they encounter in their daily lives, asking "What are the materials that are around us called?" This stimulates discussion about the different types of materials they interact with and their properties. Following the practical investigation, students are led to answer the key question "Which materials keep us dry?" Through this hands-on approach, the activity aims to help students understand material properties and their applications, particularly focusing on which materials provide protection from moisture.
