As a team, use an online editing tool to develop an informational paper or infographic illustrating how raw materials are processed to make products and systems, and how each of these materials or products are used in society. Students should identify milestone developments (e.g., cast iron, paper, battery, and fiberglass) made possible after specific materials were developed. Metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites should be included. Select a material that is one of the most valuable materials ever discovered or manufactured, and use the online editing tool to prepare a persuasive paper supporting the claim.
