This afternoon, we started learning about our new mini topic: What’s the matter? In this topic, we’ll be learning lots of new science knowledge as well as progressing our working scientifically skills.
For our first lesson, we focussed on different everyday materials and their properties. We thought about what would happen if everyday objects were made from different materials…
To help keep our conversations focussed and scientific we tried to use key vocabulary:
- transparent
- translucent
- opaque
- rigid
- strong
- conductive
- magnetic
Ask your child if they can explain what each of these terms means!
To show how much we learnt, at the start of the lesson we said everything we knew about a 2p coin (first thoughts). Before repeating this again at the end of our learning – you’ll notice that our second thoughts are much more scientific.
