Silver award: are some jeans tougher than others?
This resource describes an independent research project investigating the strength of jeans. Students could test the strength of seams in a pair of denim jeans, the tear resistance of denim, or try to work out how easily denim wears down by rubbing it on a rough surface. This will involve some research into properties of materials, particularly strength.
