Kit, Introduction to Materials Science - Materials for 15 Setups

• HANDS-ON LEARNING OF MATERIAL PROPERTIES || Categorize the physical and mechanical properties of different material samples.
• DESIGNED BY SCIENCE EXPERTS || Labs are written by teachers and scientists and bench-tested for success, using materials designed to cut down on prep time and waste.
• COMPREHENSIVE INSTRUCTIONS || Separate Teacher's Manual and Student Guide copymasters provide objectives, background info, step-by-step procedures, and data analysis questions.
• HIGH QUALITY CHEMICALS || Includes chemicals manufactured in the USA, with GHS-compliant labels and SDS for safety and storage information.
• ALIGNED TO THE NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS (NGSS) || Designed to meet specific objectives in the Next Generation Science Standards, which are listed in the Teacher's Manual.

In this activity, students will be introduced to the field of materials science as they explore the four main types of materials: metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites. They will test the physical and mechanical properties of different material samples, then categorize each material based on their results. Kit contains enough material for 15 groups. Teacher’s Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included.
