Materials in Science

10th January 2024

For our science this half term, Year 1 are learning all about a variety of everyday materials. This week, we have been exploring properties of materials and discussing what they look like and their different textures. We became investigators to discover how many different properties of materials we could discover inside and outside the classroom. We have been learning to use words such as transparent and opaque, stretchy and stiff to describe materials. We discovered that the poly tunnel is actually transparent, that some sticks are bendy but some sticks are not bendy, that the board is smooth and shiny but the door is hard and dull.
