In this activity, learners are asked to examine the differences between two materials in a pair.

In this activity, learners explore the principles of magnetism by observing how various materials interact with magnets and superconductors.

In this activity, learners explore how composites work by creating and testing their own composite for an imaginary company.

In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.

In this activity, young learners investigate magnets. Learners discover that some magnets are stronger than others and that magnets have north and south poles.

In this activity (pages 8-9), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

In this activity (pages 5-7), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

In this activity (pages 3-4), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

In this activity (pages 13-14), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.
