Announcing a new tool for teaching youngsters about materials science
The Ceramic and Glass Industry Foundation, building on lessons developed by Missouri S&T, is proud to introduce our Mini Materials Kit, a collection of seven simple demonstrations for use practically anywhere by parents, teachers, and students who are utilizing online and at-home teaching resources.
The lessons are written for a wide age-range of learners and the whole family can have fun learning about such topics as:
The Science of Silly Putty® What is Fiber Optics? Magic Color Beads and UV Light
How are Glass Fibers Made? What is Fluorescence? What is a Shape Memory Alloy?
Does heating an aluminum nail make it harder?
The Mini Materials Kit provides interesting activities to be done at home or in the classroom and can be purchased for only $49; quantity discounts are available for orders of 5 or more! Contact us at foundation@ceramics.org for more information.
