HTWW Letter 17-18

The document provides an overview of a unit on materials and their properties. It includes the central idea that understanding materials allows for design and creation. There are two lines of inquiry: 1) the properties of materials and how they behave, and 2) how materials can be manipulated and combined. Students will learn about various materials like wood, plastic, and wool. They will increase their knowledge of materials, develop an understanding of how humans use materials, and have an opportunity to apply the design cycle. Communication, research, and scientific skills are emphasized.
