Plastic
Plastic is a material that can be shaped or molded into a form. Plastics is are organic like wood, paper or wool, they are made from a raw materials such as salt, coal, natural gas, cellulose and crude oil. There are two types of plastics thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics. Plastic is the most useful material we could use because we use it for everyday needs. Although plastic is very useful it is causing environmental problems as in plastic is not biodegradable, this means it never goes away. Acrylic is a type of plastic, often described as a glass-like image. We are using Acrylic to make a jewellery bracelet, as this material is very strong, comfortable and attractive for a bracelet.
Plywood
Plywood is a man-made wood type made from thin layers of wood veneer. The layers of veneer such as hardwood, conifer and softwood, are stuck together with synthetic glue to create one piece of plywood. The thin strips of wood veneer are glued together with the grains alternating directions. Plywood is often used for ceilings or walls, for its strong ability to hold things.
