Then we continued with our jobs as material engineers. To we took 3 materials (brick, paper, and straw) and brainstormed their properties. Then we decided if they would be a good material to keep you warm based on their properties and had to defend our thinking with proof.

We took our knowledge of the materials and we applied them to new projects. Each groups a different task. They had to determine which material has the properties needed to build a successful model for the task out of the material they picked. The tasks were carrying eggs, a chair, and cleaning a floor. Wow, they designed some amazing models our of materials.
