In Science we started learning about Matter and that we can describe it using properties. We learned that depending on what properties we want something to be, it determines what material we use to make it. After watching the mystery, “Why We Wear Clothes,” we had to design a hat for living on a desert island that would protect us from the heat, keep us cool, and absorb our sweat. However, we could only use a few different supplies we had leftover from our lunch, like a paper bag, tin foil, paper plate, and paper towel. After experimenting with the materials to determine how soft, absorbent and stiff it was, we designed our own hat to get the most out of each material’s properties. Enjoy these creations!
