Summer 2

Everyday Materials

In Science this half term, we will build on our previous learning about materials from earlier in the year. The children will take part in a range of practical investigations, exploring the properties of different materials and testing their suitability for various purposes. Through hands-on experiments, they will develop their scientific enquiry skills, make observations, and begin to draw conclusions from their findings.

Our learning objectives for each lesson are as follows: 

Build a structure strong enough to withstand wind 

Build a waterproof structure 

Understand the properties of glass and its uses 

Understand that materials are used to create a variety of furniture 

Explore a variety of fabrics and understand their different properties 

Explain uses of materials and why they are suitable
