Craftling — Flexibility & Elasticity Flex Bridge

Hi!

I'm Craftling.

Welcome to Flex Bridge!

Will you help me investigate flexibility & elasticity?

The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.

Let's check the evidence!

Flexibility describes bending without breaking.

Elasticity describes returning toward the original shape after a force is removed.

Which property means returning toward original shape?

  • A. Absorbency
  • B. Hardness
  • C. Elasticity

The answer is C: Elasticity

Flexibility describes bending without breaking.

Elasticity describes returning toward the original shape after a force is removed.

That clue helps us make sense of this place.

A material may bend but remain bent, so flexible

and elastic do not mean exactly the same thing.

Is every flexible material strongly elastic?

  • A. Only if it is dark
  • B. No
  • C. Yes

The answer is B: No

A material may bend but remain bent, so flexible

and elastic do not mean exactly the same thing.

Hmm...

how does that connect to our first clue?

Our test bends strip A, which stays bent, and stretches band B,

which returns to shape.

For a returning stretch loop, B fits the recorded need.

Which sample suits the returning loop?

  • A. Band B
  • B. Strip A
  • C. Both always return equally

The answer is A: Band B

Our test bends strip A, which stays bent, and stretches band B,

which returns to shape.

For a returning stretch loop, B fits the recorded need.

Nice investigating!
