Materials Physics Research Project
During the fourth bimester, you will complete an individual research project on the physics of an engineered material of your choice. You will complete a PowerPoint or Prezi and give a small presentation to the class.
In this project you are looking for:
- when and how the material was developed
(where,using what etc.)
- who were the people who developed it
- which material(s) did it replace
- where and how it is used

Making Stuff with David Pogue
Invisibility cloaks. Spider silk that is stronger than steel. Plastics made of sugar that dissolve in landfills. Self-healing military vehicles. Smart pills and micro-robots that zap diseases. Clothes that monitor your mood. What will the future bring, and what will it be made of? In NOVA's four-hour series, "Making Stuff," popular technology columnist David Pogue takes viewers on a fun-filled tour of the material world we live in, and the one that may lie ahead. Get a behind-the-scenes look at scientific innovations ushering in a new generation of materials that are stronger, smaller, cleaner, and smarter than anything we've ever seen.
