      Lesson 1

      Describing Objects and Materials

      Learning Objectives and Outcomes

      • Children will make simple general observations, using all their senses, about a variety of everyday objects and materials.

      • They will describe their observations and simple scientific vocabulary in order to describe objects.

      • They will record findings with simple pictures and labels or captions.

      National Curriculum Programs of Study

      • Sc1 Scientific enquiry: 2a, 2b, 2f, 2g, 2h

      • Sc 3 Materials and their properties: 1a, 1b

      Introduction

      Explain that in this and following lessons we will be learning about materials. Establish meaning of the word ‘material’ so they do not confuse it with ‘fabric’.

      Start lesson by sitting in circle. Box of objects is passed round and everyone takes an object, names it and gives one word to describe it. Children keep object taken for later activity.

      Main Lesson

      Ask children to look at and feel their object in detail. Ask them to think about the softness and hardness of their object. ‘Stand up if your object is very soft/very hard etc.’ Introduce other words such as ‘bendy, squashy, stretchy, see through (transparent), shiny (reflects), dull, smooth, bumpy, rough, warm, cold etc.

      Each child passes their object to the next person. Children think about their new object and how they would describe it. Pass the objects on again until children have looked at 4 objects in detail.

      Divide children into groups and give each group an object. Children pass the object around and each try to say something
