The document summarizes the activities and final project of a group called Ibn Alhaitham from the AL-Bairaq program. They conducted experiments testing the strength of different ice and foam composites. They explored natural and industrial composites. They also designed and proposed a fishing pole and car remote cover made of composite materials. For their final project, they proposed a car remote cover made of plastic and copper layers to protect remotes from damage. They concluded they learned about composites and presenting from the AL-Bairaq workshops.

2. Outline
Introduction
Activity 1:Testing different kinds of ice
Activity 2: Hunting for composite materials
Activity 3: Exploring the difference between
strength and stiffness
Activity 4:Testing a foam composite for strength
and stiffness
Design Project :Designing a fishing pole
Product Idea: Car remote cover

3. Introduction
• A composite material is a material made from
two or more constituent materials with
different physical or chemical properties that,
when combined, produce a material with
characteristics different from the individual
components

4. Activity 1: Testing different kinds of ice
Sample (1) : ice only
Sample (2): ice +tissue
Sample (3): ice + tissue +straw +cotton
we dropped the 3 samples from the same height
Result:
Sample (3) is the strongest one and sample (1) is
the weakest one.
Ice composite is stronger than pure ice

5. Activity 2: Hunting for Composite
Materials
Natural Composites:
wood
Industrial composites
Concrete
There is two types of Composites :

6. Activity 3: Exploring the Difference
between strength and stiffness
We tested different materials for
strength and flexibility
Strong → weak
1-iron
2-nylon cord
3-plastic
4-wood
5-pasta
Most flexibility → least flexibility
1-nylon cord
2-iron
3-plastic
4-wood
5-Pasta

7. Activity 4:testing a foam composite for
strength and stiffness
Sample (1) : plain foam
Sample (2): foam with one side paper
Sample (3): foam with two side paper
Result:
Sample (3) is the strongest one and sample (1) is the
weakest one.
Foam composite is stronger than plain foam

8. Design project:designing a fishing pole
1}strong
2}flexible
3}light
We designed a fishing pole from
different materials
The fishing pole must be:

9. Final Project:
Car Remote Cover
• Introduction and Rationale:
when the car remote falls down , it breaks
down into many pieces and it can’t be fixed.
You should go to the car agency to get new car
remote and the car remote is expensive so
Our Product is designed to protect the car
remote from damage.

10. Car Remote Cover
Hypothesis:
• The Design of the cover will provide
protection for the car remote from
Scratches and breaking down.

11. Car Remote Cover
Methods and Materials
The Car Remote Cover will be made from:
1- Plastic
2- Copper
There will be three layers . The Copper will be
in the middle and covered from both sides by
plastic. The copper will make the cover strong.

12. Car Remote Cover
Results:
• Our Car remote cover will :
1- provide perfect protection for the Car Remote
2- protect the car remote from scratches
3- Save money

13. Car Remote Cover
Recommendations:
• We recommend The use of the Car remote
cover by the Car agencies so when we buy a
car , we receive its remote protected with the
cover
• We recommend our product to be sold
everywhere.

14. Conclusions
We got knowledge from Albairaq workshops
about the composites and the importance of
Composites in our lives. We trained on how to
do a presentation and how to think of creative
ideas.
