A very material mail
This session turns the science spotlight on our collections and explores the challenges of personal protection and its progression.
By using historic armour from our collections, we explore body protection, and how both traditional and modern materials are used.
What materials would you choose to protect yourself with? We take an in-depth look at Materials and their properties, including extra insight on polymers and plastics including Makralon® and Kevlar® (_Useful products from organic sources_).
We can also use our Tensile Strength machine to look at the comparative strengths of various materials.
- We generally offer two sessions a day each with a maximum of 35 students. A session will last from one hour to an hour and half.
- Our sessions are £7 per student under 16 years old, with one adult free per ten students.
