Support and challenge
Pupils needing extra support
Should have the five objects cut out from the Activity: Properties of materials and be given five word cards labelled wood, plastic, glass, metal and fabric to match to the pictures in the adult-led task.
Pupils working beyond age-related expectations
Could explain why each object is made from a particular material (e.g. the swing’s seat is made of plastic so it will swing easily; the greenhouse is made of glass so the light can get through; the trampoline is made of fabric so it will stretch when bouncing; the spade’s handle is made of wood so it will pick up soil; the barbecue is made of metal so it can get hot without melting) during the adult-led task.
