Package it better addresses AC Science Understanding ACSSU074 Natural and processed materials have a range of physical properties that can influence their use, through the context of designing and making packaging strong enough to protect a fragile parcel.

Package it better provides students with hands-on opportunities to:

explore the properties of materials used in packaging
discuss the environmental impacts of packaging materials
investigate the capacity of different materials to protect food from impact
investigate how the shape of paper impacts its strength
Students apply their new learning by:

design, make and evaluate an effective package that will protect a fragile parcel during the delivery process
Linking science with literacy

In Package it better, students represent and explain their understanding about how natural and processed materials have a range of physical properties that can influence their use, by creating these representations:
