This afternoon, Year 1 explored the properties of materials in their science lesson. They explored the following vocabulary: soft, hard, rough, smooth, shiny, dull, bendy, rigid, stretchy, stiff, transparent and opaque. Some of the words were new to the children such as dull, rigid, stiff, transparent and opaque. Therefore, the children chose to find materials and\or objects that these new scientific words would describe. For example, several children chose a glass jar or plastic bubble wrap to describe as transparent, a wooden building block to describe as opaque, an elastic band or white tac to describe as stretchy, a rock to describe as rigid and so on.. Well done Year 1!
