This week, we started our new science project, Uses of Materials. We carried out a mini investigation to see if we could bend, stretch, twist or squash objects made from materials such as plastic, modelling clay, metal and sponge. We found that the most malleable material was modelling clay because it could be bent, stretched, twisted and squashed easily. However, it did not return to it’s original shape on it’s own. This investigation was so fun and we really enjoyed it!
