Everything from food to furniture can come in a package which might be made from materials such as metal foil or plastic film - materials that didn't exist even a few decades ago. Packages need to protect and preserve contents while being economical, attractive for marketing purposes and preferably having minimal environmental impact. Little wonder that they are often the product of imaginative design and rigorous testing. The Package it better unit links science and technology with literacy in the classroom. It provides opportunities for students to develop an understanding of the design of packages and the choice of appropriate materials to use. They design and test a package that will safely deliver a fragile gift. Through investigations students observe and gather information about what makes a successful package." -- p. i Analysis Australian Notes "PrimaryConnections is supported by the Australian Government"--T.p. verso First published: 2008 Fully aligned with the Australian Curriculum Spiral binding Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (page viii) Audience For primary school teachers Subject Chemistry -- Study and teaching (Primary) Chemistry -- Study and teaching (Primary) -- Australia.
