Key Stage 1
Meaning

Plastic is a good material to make cups because it is waterproof.
Plastic is a waterproof material that can be melted and molded into new shapes. There are so many types of plastic the other properties are all different.
About Plastics
- Some plastics are bendy so they are used to make rulers.
- Some plastics are stiff so they are used to make tables.
- Some plastics are transparent so they are used to make windows.
- All plastic can be melted and formed into new shapes.

Key Stage 3
Meaning
Plastics are materials made from long chain molecules made from many atoms.
About Plastics
- Plastics are made from polymers.
- The properties of a plastic depend on the polymer that the plastic is made from.
