For our science topic this term we are looking at everyday materials and their uses. 

The children worked in pairs to explore different objects we have in the school and discussed their properties. We were looking to see if the objects were soft, hard, waterproof, absorbent, rough smooth, flexible, elastic and squishy.

As we explored the objects we completed a table to show their properties.

We also learnt about how the shapes of objects made from some materials can be changed.

We had a selection of different objects which were all made from different materials. We worked in pairs to squash, bend, twist and stretch each object. We then completed a table with our findings.

Finally, we discussed our results and the reasoning behind them which  you will find on the next few pages…
