Welcome to class!
In today’s class, we will be talking about shape construction. Enjoy the class!
Shape Construction with Wood and Metal
Introduction
In the last lesson, we learnt about the construction of shapes with paper; the different tools used in shape construction was learnt too. We also learnt some shape construction methods like folding, bending, cutting etc.
In today’s lesson, we shall focus on wood and metal as shape construction materials.
Properties of wood and metal
To use any material for construction, its properties should be known. These will help to make the right decision as to which method is to be used.

- It is light and can float on water
- It does not conduct electricity

Properties of metals
- It is heavy and can sink in water
- It can be polished to have a shiny surface
- It can be easily folded or bent
- It can be hammered into sheets
- It can conduct heat and electricity
