Lesson details
Key learning points
- Deforming materials changes the shape and not the state.
- Timber veneer can be deformed by laminating.
- Vacuum forming is a deforming process for polymers.
Keywords
State - the form of matter; gas, liquid or solid
Malleable - can be pressed into shape without breaking, usually in reference to metals
Brittle - breaks or fractures easily without deforming or stretching
Laminating - sticking several layers of material together
Plasticity - can be pressed into shape without breaking, usually in reference to polymers
Common misconception
Laminating is when paper or card are covered in clear polymer.
Laminating means sticking several layers of material together, the clear polymer coated paper or card process is encapsulation.
