What are things made from? Why is one material better for a job than another material? How do we decide which material to use?
In pairs, children carry out practical activities designed to support the ‘Uses of Everyday Materials’ element of the Year 2 programme of study.
Activities include:
- an odd one out challenge
- testing a range of everyday objects for particular properties
- exploring how waterproof different materials are
- using their knowledge to apply a waterproofing layer and testing it
This workshop works best in the classroom.
