Understanding Materials: Rigid and Bendy

The video tutorial explores the properties of different materials, focusing on which are rigid and which are bendy. It uses examples like glass, metal, paper, and plasticine to demonstrate these properties. The tutorial also includes an interactive segment where students are encouraged to manipulate plasticine to understand how materials can change shape through bending, twisting, squashing, and stretching. Finally, it guides students through an investigation of various household objects to determine their flexibility and rigidity.
