====== Materials Demonstrations ===== **See also: **[[categories:polymers|Polymers]]\\ \\ Materials science examines the properties and uses of the substances we rely on, from natural resources to modern synthetic products. This category looks at what makes different materials suitable for particular purposes, and how their characteristics can be explained by their structure. Studying materials links science to design, technology, and engineering.\\ ---- struct table ---- schema: demo cols: page, materials, difficulty, safety, summary header: "Demonstration", "Materials", "Difficulty", "Safety", "Summary" filter: categories~Materials filter: page~demonstrations:% sort: title csv: 0 ---- **Materials**\\ ★☆☆ Easy to get from supermarket or hardware store\\ ★★☆ Available in most school laboratories or specialist stores\\ ★★★ Requires materials not commonly found in school laboratories\\ **Difficulty**\\ ★☆☆ Can be easily done by most teenagers\\ ★★☆ Available in most school laboratories or specialist stores\\ ★★★ Requires a more experienced teacher\\ **Safety**\\ ★☆☆ Minimal safety procedures required\\ ★★☆ Some safety precautions required to perform safely\\ ★★★ Only to be attempted with adequate safety procedures and trained staff\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\
