Introduction

• A composite material is a material made from two or more constituent materials with different physical or chemical properties that, when combined, produce a material with characteristics different from the individual components

Activity 1: Testing different kinds of ice

Sample (1) : ice onlySample (2): ice +tissueSample (3): ice + tissue +straw +cotton

we dropped the 3 samples from the same height

Result:Sample (3) is the strongest one and sample (1) is the weakest one.Ice composite is stronger than pure ice

Activity 2: Hunting for Composite Materials

Natural Composites: wood

Industrial composites Concrete

There is two types of Composites :

Activity 3: Exploring the Difference between strength and stiffness

We tested different materials for strength and flexibility

Strong → weak1-iron2-nylon cord3-plastic4-wood5-pasta

Most flexibility → least flexibility1-nylon cord2-iron3-plastic4-wood5-Pasta

Activity 4:testing a foam composite for strength and stiffness

Sample (1) : plain foam Sample (2): foam with one side paper Sample (3): foam with two side paper

Result:Sample (3) is the strongest one and sample (1) is the weakest one.Foam composite is stronger than plain foam

Design project:designing a fishing pole

We designed a fishing pole from different materials

Final Project:Car Remote Cover

• Introduction and Rationale:

when the car remote falls down , it breaks down into many pieces and it can’t be fixed. You should go to the car agency to get new car remote and the car remote is expensive so Our Product is designed to protect the car remote from damage.

Car Remote CoverHypothesis:

• The Design of the cover will provide protection for the car remote from Scratches and breaking down.

Car Remote CoverMethods and Materials

The Car Remote Cover will be made from: 1- Plastic 2- Copper

There will be three layers . The Copper will be in the middle and covered from both sides by plastic. The copper will make the cover strong.

Car Remote CoverResults:

• Our Car remote cover will :

1- provide perfect protection for the Car Remote

2- protect the car remote from scratches

3- Save money

Car Remote CoverRecommendations:

• We recommend The use of the Car remote cover by the Car agencies so when we buy a car , we receive its remote protected with the cover

• We recommend our product to be sold everywhere.

Conclusions

We got knowledge from Albairaq workshops about the composites and the importance of Composites in our lives. We trained on how to do a presentation and how to think of creative ideas.
