Key Stage 1
Meaning
Applications are the things we can use materials to do and make.
About Applications
Different materials have different properties so they can only be used to make certain things. You cannot make a window out of metal because metal is opaque. You cannot make cloths out of brick because brick is hard and cannot be bent.
Examples
