“Shrink to Fit” Polystyrene
Name of lesson:
“Shrink to Fit” Polystyrene
Short Description of Lesson:
The shrinky dink PS sheets can be found at Star Beacon (Goodale Ave).
This worksheet goes with the write-up in the ASM manual. We’ve found that some students do well with a written reference sheet at the tables.
I like to ask the students if they notice a similarity between the PS shapes getting smaller area & “elongation” (greater thickness), and what happens to a metal during necking.
