How do we answer a question?

Hands up nice and tall

No yelling – if you yell then your group will not be picked to answer

Miss Ritchie will give you 15 seconds after a question is asked to discuss with your group what you think the answer is

Material Strengths

How strong do you think it is?

PaperHow strong do you think it is?

How hard do you need to pull to tear it?

If we spilt water on paper, do you think that would make it stronger or weaker?

If we twisted the paper in a rope, would that make it stronger or weaker when pulling it apart?

Aluminium How strong do you think this is?

Is it easy to rip?

Is the aluminum plate stronger than aluminium foil?

If you twisted the aluminium foil into a rope, would it be easier or harder to pull it apart

PlasticHow strong do you think that plastic is?

If you were to bend the plastic, do you think that it would make it weaker or stronger?

If pulling a plastic bag apart, would it be harder or easier to stretch it if it was in a rope
