This popular workshop in schools allows pupils to ask questions such as – What are things made of? Why do we use a particular material for something? What properties does that material have to make it good for purpose?
In small groups, children carry out hands-on, exciting activities to help them meet the ‘Everyday Materials’ element of the Year 1 programme of study. Activities include, sorting a large set of everyday items, vocabulary developing games and workshop leader led discussion. For the final activity, we use a well-loved traditional tale to engage the class’s problem-solving abilities in carrying out a practical experiment.
The workshop works best in the classroom.
