Exploring the science of
everyday materials

Nicola Edwards and
Jane Harris
Photographs by

Julian Cornish-Trestrail


There are lots of

different types
of paper.

2


We‛ve
collected
all these!

3


This paper is
at and thin.
It feels light
and smooth.

4


I can‛t see
through it.

5


It’s very strong.

I can‛t pull

it apart!

6


But I can fold it . . .

tear it . . .

and cut it
into shapes.
7


I can scrunch it into a ball.

8


Look at all the
creases!

9


Paper’s good for
drawing on.

10

I’m printing a pattern.

11


What happens
when I drop
the piece of
paper?

It looks like
it‛s swinging from
side to side.

12


My scrunched-up ball of paper
drops straight down.
I’ve made a paper plane.

Look at it y!

13


What will happen
to this paper
boat if I put

it on top of
the water?

Look it oats!

14


I’ve made these boats
out of different kinds
of paper. I wonder if
they’ll oat too?

15


Oops! I‛ve spilled
water onto this sheet
of paper.

The water is
sitting on top of
the paper.

16


Look at this kitchen paper.
It soaks up the
water straight

away.

17


Now the paper is dry again.
It’s not as
smooth as it
was before.
It looks more
crinkly.

18


It sounds louder
when I scrunch it.

19


We’ve made a cake!
We lined the tin
with greaseproof
paper so that
the cake
wouldn’t stick
to the sides.

20

Look how the paper
has changed. It‛s soaked
up the grease from
the cake.

I can see my
ngers through the
paper now.
21


Time to tidy away.

Look at all
the paper we‛ve
collected for
recycling.

22


The paper can
be used again
to make new
things like
these.
