4P has learnt about so many different types of materials this term. Now that we have started to discover the different properties of materials, we're also understanding why some materials may be chosen for certain activities more than others. For instance, we might choose to use a cardboard box over a paper bag because one the box is stronger than the paper bag.
We have also had an environmental scientist from Newcastle University come to speak with us about how sustainable certain materials are and how some materials are being recycled. We watched a video which taught us about how to properly recycle and how people like the founder of Planet Ark, Jon Dee are trying to get people to change the way they use plastics.
Test your knowledge of the different types of plastics. Can you recognise some of these recycling symbols?
