What If? Materials Template
A set of 6 templates to use when investigating the properties of materials.
Use this teaching resource when studying Chemical Science and exploring the properties of materials.
Enlarge the templates and display around the room as posters. Students contribute to the posters by imagining the consequences in each scenario. They are encouraged to consider their senses as they write down their ideas. This is a fun activity which leads to discussion about the suitability of materials for specific purposes.
