CASE STUDY SUMMARY __ Case study summary structure __ //__ Brief __// //__ Research __// //__ Social / historical impact __// //__ Physical properties of rubber __// //__ References and sources __// __ Case study summary __ • assume reader has limited physics knowledge  • avoid being too technical   • NO cut and paste • reference (3 different sources!) material where content and information was used  • CONCISE is best • Reference S9: we are investigating what effects temperature has on a rubber material and see if this can explain mechanical failure of rubber o-ring • Reference S6: you could include Richard Feynman’s investigation into disaster: []
 * What 2 states does rubber have?
 * Can you relate your visit to one of these properties?
 * Structure of rubber
 * Use physics terms
 * ELASTICITY (and response time), HYSTERESIS
 * must be your own wording and interpretation.
 * You can include quotes if reference them

__ From exam board material: __ Students may refer to material on websites but they should not merely copy large chunks of text into their own work; instead they should use their own words to convey their understanding of what they have read. However, short quotes may be used; the source of any quotes must be clearly identified in the text.
