Last week, our class explored Properties of Matter in a very unique way. We had to design a hat using only a few materials that washed up on shore after our class was “stranded” on a desert island. First we had to discover what properties each material had : absorbent, soft, stiff, or reflective. Then using only those materials, design a hat that would keep us most comfortable. Not only did our class, use the results of the experiments, they collaborated, problem-solved, and cooperated with others in the classroom. After they were done developing their hat, each student modeled their creation and explained how and why they used the materials.
Check out these fab pictures! I am so proud of their hard work!
