About this Resource
In this Grade 6 lesson, students investigate a variety of materials by applying tension, compression, shearing and torsion. As a result, students observe how materials respond when a force is applied and removed. Through hands-on testing and reflection, students learn to differentiate between temporary (elastic) and permanent (plastic) changes in objects.
This activity is designed to help cover the 2st KUSP of grade 6 in the Energy Organizing idea.
