Through this unit children learn about the characteristics and uses of a range of common materials and vocabulary for describing and comparing materials.
Experimental and investigative work focuses on:
- thinking about what is expected to happen
- turning ideas into a form that can be tested
- making observations and comparisons.
Work in this unit also offers opportunities for using IT (see IT Unit
1D 'Labelling and classifying') to store information and for relating understanding of science to materials found in the home.
This unit takes approximately 9 hours.
