Materials :

During this unit children will extend their knowledge of the range of materials they use and of the properties that characterise them. This knowledge will help them recognise what needs to be considered when a material is chosen for a particular use. Work in this unit allows children the opportunities to relate science to materials they use every day, to obtain evidence to test ideas, and to identify hazards and risks as they work.

Rocks and Soils:

Through this unit children will recognise that underneath all surfaces is rock which they may not be able to see, that rocks get broken down into pebbles and soils which we can often see, and that there are different sorts of rock with different characteristics. Pebbles and soils from different rocks consequently have different characteristics. It also offers opportunities for children to use their understanding of science to explain observations about rocks and soils, for children to collect evidence to test ideas, and to recognise hazards and risks.
