About. An Open University study module, with exercises all-through, that teachers may use to learn about the properties of materials. It will be of particular interest to teachers who are not chemists.
Pedagogical content. Designed to encourage active learning(ta), this study module explores the properties of materials from everyday life.
It also involves some simple inquiry(ta) and practical activities using household items. (edit)
