Introduction to Material Properties
Understand and compare the properties of everyday materials, including hardness, solubility, transparency, electrical and thermal conductivity, and response to magnets.
#Materials
Materials: Bending and Twisting
Understand the properties of different materials and how they can be changed by bending, twisting.
Materials: Squashing and Stretching
Discover how materials behave in Year 2 Science! 🧪 Squash, stretch, and test objects to explore their properties. Learn which materials are strong, flexible, or bendy, and see how they can change. Perfect for curious young scientists ready to investigate the world around them!
Materials: Glass and Plastic
Discover how everyday materials shape our world! 🏠✏️ In this Year 2 Science lesson, students explore, compare, and test materials like wood, metal, plastic, glass, brick, rock, paper, and cardboard to see which works best for different jobs. Fun, hands-on, and perfect for young scientists!
Sink or Float
Learn how to predict, test, and explain whether objects float or sink! This lesson helps students understand buoyancy through hands-on activities, object sorting, and scientific predictions.
Mixtures – Filtering and Sieving
Learn and describe different methods for separating mixtures, including sieving, filtering, and evaporating.
Solutions and Evaporating
Master the concepts of solutions, solutes, and solvents! Learn to differentiate between soluble and insoluble substances, understand evaporation, and discover why filtration and sieving can't separate dissolved substances.
Reversible and Irreversible Changes
Recognize and categorize common examples of reversible and irreversible changes.
Materials – Brick and Rock
Explore properties of bricks and rocks! Ideal for young learners, this lesson covers texture, hardness, and uses of common materials.
Materials – Wood, Paper, Cardboard
Discover the world of everyday materials! Explore wood, paper, and cardboard, test their properties, and see how their structure affects their use. Learn which material works best for different tasks in this hands-on, fun investigation.
