This week, Year 5/6 have started their new science topic. It is all about materials and the focus is mainly on chemistry. This means the children will be thinking like chemists. In other science units, the children might be learning about the other strands of science which are biology and physics. The children have been exploring different materials and their properties. The thought about why different materials had been chosen to make household objects – why hadn’t other materials been used? Some children did a great job of applying their scientific vocabulary. Can your child remember any vocabulary about materials?
