Plastics – or polymers as they are more correctly called – look
set to be the material of the future. The SEP booklet ‘Fantastic plastic’
provides an overview of polymers as they are today and an indication of what
they may do in the future, together with ideas to demonstrate some of their
more unusual properties and the vast range of uses to which they can be put.
See below for the practical resources that have been identified and developed
specifically for use with the activities in this booklet.
Further resources can be downloaded from the ‘Fantastic
Plastic’ page on the SEP
website, including an electronic version of the booklet. (Access
is for SEP Teacher Associates - this scheme is free
to join for science teachers and technicians in UK secondary schools.) |
