The aim of the lesson is to introduce students to a variety of different materials. Students will examine a number of common hardwoods, softwoods, manufactured boards, plastics, metals and compliant materials such as card.
Students studying a resistant materials course will be expected to have a knowledge of woods, manufactured boards, metals and plastics whereas students choosing a product design course will study compliant materials such as card and paper in combination with one or two other resistant materials such as metal, woods or plastics.
Throughout the lesson we will discuss a variety of materials and explain their uses and properties. We will investigate the sources of the materials and their classifications. It is hoped that the lesson will be of assistance to students when choosing suitable materials for their project work. Understanding the properties of materials provides students with a greater understanding of both the natural and fabricated world, which surrounds them.
