The class has been randomly divided by Canvas into 4 groups of 5 – 6 students each. Each group is assigned one of the materials and has 15 days to complete the project. The projects are assigned at four different times throughout the semester, coordinating with the material topic per the class schedule. Students will not know their topic assignment until the day the assignment becomes available. Your material topic is determined by the topic in class which coordinates with your assignment date.

Part 1 – Material description
What are the material’s unique properties? (reference chapters 5 – 10 in our text book)
