This Teacher’s Resource Guide is intended to accompany Strange Matter, an interactive, hands-on exhibition about materials and materials science. The Strange Matter exhibition uses science to explore the bizarre world of modern materials and provide a glimpse of where the future of materials research might take us. Enter the fascinating world of materials and uncover the surprising science behind everyday stuff. High-tech fields like the space program are known for their use of advanced materials, but these materials have also found their way into the stuff of everyday life – from car shock absorbers and eyeglass frames to DVD players and golf clubs. In this exhibition, you become the materials scientist. Zoom down to the micro level and find out why materials behave the way they do. Learn why Post-It notes stick and Teflon doesn't. Play with liquids that defy gravity and morph mysteriously. Discover what your skull and soap bubbles have in common. Get hands- on and test materials to reveal their properties: make a crystal, whack an atom and try to smash a pane of glass with a bowling ball. This Teacher’s Guide is a companion resource to the exhibition. The activities are designed for students in grades 5 through 8 and are curriculum correlated to the U.S. National Science Education Standards. Six hands-on, inquiry-based activities investigate the science of materials. Students are challenged to examine the things that make up their material world in a different way – through the eyes of materials scientists. Each activity features Teacher’s Notes and Student Activity pages. Teacher’s pages include uploads/Science et Technologie/ teachers-guide 2 .pdf
