This science teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and describe the properties of different fabrics that can be used for a range of functions such as for sports clothing and household curtains.

The class can produce tags naming the individual properties of materials and suggest how the fabrics might be used in different scenarios.

Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to identify and describe the properties of different fabrics that can be used for a range of functions

Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe the properties of different fabric materials, a template to match and record the properties of different materials used for items of clothing and a vocabulary word bank to help sort a range of different materials by their matching properties.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore the properties of different fabrics that can be used for a range of functions,

This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to investigate and test the properties of different types of materials including durability, opacity, strength and conductivity. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
