You are going to investigate the flexibility of different materials. Flexibility means how much the object will bend without breaking.

You will need to bend the object in some way and think of a way of recording how much each object bends, so that we can compare the results later.

You could try and bend the object around a pencil, or over the edge of the table. You could then give each object a score to show how easy or hard it was to bend.

If you can think of a better method of testing the flexibility of objects, share it with your group, and decide which method is best.
