Wood Module Overview

In this module, students compare the properties of different kinds of wood (pine, plywood, redwood, particleboard, and basswood). They investigate wood in water and find out what it takes to sink samples of wood. They take wood apart by sanding and then explore the resulting sawdust and wood shavings. They put wood together by making sandwich wood (plywood) and sawdust wood (particleboard). They also put wood together with nails and glue to create wood sculptures.
