Instant Challenges move fast. Your team has minutes to assess the Challenge, make a plan, and build a solution together.
One of the biggest advantages? Knowing what materials can actually do. Can it bend? Hold weight? Connect to something else? Teams that understand material properties make smarter choices under pressure.
Download our free Exploring Material Properties Cards to give your team a head start. Use them in practice to test, experiment, and build confidence before the clock starts.
What the cards cover:
- Malleability – Can the material be easily given a new shape?
- Hardness – Is the material resistant to scratching or indentation?
- Elasticity – Is the material able to return to its original shape?
- Plasticity – Is the material able to be molded or altered into your desired share?
- Density – What is the ratio between mass and volume? For a material to float, its density must be equal to or less than the density of the liquid.
