Learning Objectives

Students should understand that:

  • many different materials make up the world around us,
  • we can classify materials in three main groups: metals, polymers and ceramics plus natural composite such as wood and bone,
  • materials are chosen for applications on the basis of the properties they possess.

Students should be more able to:

  • draw up a timetable to help them plan their study,
  • make brief notes to clarify their understanding,
  • review their study strategy and reflect on what they have learnt.
