Stevie Steel vs Alice Aluminium
This activity aimed at primary learners looks at the properties and uses of materials focussing on aluminium and steel. Children find out more about these two materials and how they differ and learn about how much energy can be saved if these materials are recycled. They then design two cartoon characters; Alice aluminium (an aluminium drinks can) and Stevie Steel (a steel/tin-plate can). Using the fact sheet they must extract information to go in the speech bubbles of their character. An extra lesson looks at how to develop these characters and create some simple animations. This resource has been provided by the Metal Packaging Manufacturers Association, (MPMA).
