VAST Science Units
Wood/Paper


The modern world is a wonderland of different materials for early-childhood students. Two of those materials are wood and the paper that is derived from it. In the Wood and Paper module students are introduced to a wide variety of woods and papers in a systematic way. They will observe the properties of these materials and discover what happens when they are subjected to a number of tests and interactions with other materials. Students learn that wood and paper can be recycled to create new forms of paper or wood that have new properties. Finally, they use what they know about the properties of these marvelous materials as they change wood and paper into a variety of products.
