Research and Development in Modern Materials

This resource relates to research and development processes associated with Modern Materials, and includes inquiry activities focused on investigation skills and linked to contemporary research practices.
It also features profiles of young researchers working in materials research that cuts across science and engineering, science ideas and their application.

These activities relate to years 7 – 10 and each of the 5 activities lists the relevant outcomes.
