2. What is the sharpest material to make swords?

3. I think metal will make the sharpest sword.

4.  We found some materials for swords We used knives because it was safer  We picked stuff to cut Things that are OK to cut with knives  We cut things to see which one was sharpest  We wrote things down

12.  Hypothesis was correct – metal was best  I also learned plastic was the second best It cut almost as many things as the metal  Wood was the third best It tore and squished stuff more than cut  Paper cut nothing except banana with no peels
