This lesson is the first of a two-part series on the properties and uses of different materials. In Materials 1: Materials and Manufacturing, the familiar tale of The Three Little Pigs is used as an introduction to materials and manufacturing. Students examine the properties, limitations, and durability of a variety of materials, then evaluate which of the materials would be best for building a model house. If used in its entirety, this lesson could take several science class periods.

In this activity students will be conducting investigations that will help them develop and refine their ideas about air. To start the lesson students will be asked to write an explanation of what air is. At various points in the lesson they will be asked to revisit their explanations and refine them based on the phenomena they have experienced in the lesson.

Students will simulate radioactive decay by pouring small candies from a cup and counting which candies fall with the manufacturer's mark down or up. Then continue by predicting and successively counting the number of "side-up" candies. By the end of the lesson, students will understand that rates of decay of unstable nuclei can be measured, that the exact time that a certain nucleus will decay cannot be predicted, and that it takes a very large number of nuclei to find the rate of decay.
