Lesson 1 Materials IT’S A STRETCH Teacher Notes Science Inquiry Focus: What are materials and how do they change? Skills Development/Working Scientifically: • Questioning • Investigating and experimenting • Analysing • Estimating and measuring • Recording and communicating Science Learning Outcome: • Pupils observe the properties of everyday objects and materials and describe how they can change. Technology/Engineering/Mathematics Link: • Using a QR code reader to access information. Background Information • Everyday materials include things such as water, chocolate, paper, wood, plastic, rubber, glass, clay, stone, fabric, metal, cork and so on. Objects are made from one or more materials; for example, space hopper toys are made from rubber, while hair ties are made from rubber, elastic or stretchy cotton. • Materials and objects can change shape, size, colour and temperature. • Materials can be changed in a variety of physical ways such as bending, stretching, squashing, crushing, breaking, cutting, warming and cooling. Assessment Focus: • Use the T-chart as a diagnostic assessment to establish prior knowledge. • Note any observations from the discussion at Step 6 about what pupils know about materials and how they can be changed. Resources Viewing sample • Digital copy of pages 98–99 • Sufficient copies of page 100 for pupils • Space hopper video • Tying a ponytail with hair tie video • Space hopper (optional) • Hair tie (optional) 96 Science: A STEM APPROACH 1st CLASS 978-1-912760-15-2 Prim-Ed Publishing – www.prim-ed.com
Materials IT’S A STRETCH Lesson 1 Lesson Plan Note: This lesson is to establish the pupils’ prior knowledge, so it is important to not correct them at this stage. Introduction: 1. Display page 98 on the whiteboard and ask pupils to think about what is odd about these pictures. Using a think-pair-share, pupils explain what is unusual about the image based on prior knowledge. Pupils then share their thoughts as a whole class. Development: 2. Show pupils a space hopper toy and a hair tie. Select a pupil to demonstrate how each object is used. Alternatively, display the images on page 99 (the correct objects). 3. In pairs, pupils complete the T-chart on page 100 by viewing a video of a space hopper and a hair tie in action, then describing the observable properties of each object and how they can change shape. Pupils explore if each object returns to its original shape or not before answering the discussion questions on page 100. Differentiation • Guided group work can support pupils in discussing the object and how it changes, with the adult questioning and prompting pupils to create a group T-chart. • Challenge pupils to write sentences to describe the object and how it changes using scientific words where they can. Reflection: 4. Display the T-chart from page 100 on the whiteboard. Pupils share some of their descriptive words with the class, while the teacher writes the class responses. This is an opportunity to create a word wall for this unit of work. 5. Discuss the following questions: What kind of materials are used to make things bouncy and stretchy? Is a piece of wood or a metal ruler bouncy or stretchy? What other words can be used to describe those objects? Do all objects return to the same shape after they have been changed? Can all objects have their shape changed? Viewing sample Prim-Ed Publishing – www.prim-ed.com 978-1-912760-15-2 1st Science: 97 CLASS A STEM APPROACH
