Lesson One – Sorting Materials
This science teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and record a range of ways of grouping and sorting different types of materials by their matching properties such as flexibility and absorbency.
The class can present and organise the selected materials using Venn and Carroll diagrams to indicate their matching properties.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to identify and record a range of ways of grouping and sorting different types of materials by their matching properties
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe the properties of different materials, templates to group and sort a range of different materials by their matching properties using Venn and Carroll diagrams.and a vocabulary word bank to help sort a range of different materials into matching groups.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore ways of grouping and sorting different types of materials by their properties.
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.
-
Ordering and Changing
Explore and record how to order three digit numbers by the place value of their digits and how the digits in a number change their numerical values when finding ten and one hundred more or less
-
Changing Hundreds
Explore and record the matching number sums that are one hundred more and less than different three digit numbers to show changes to the place values of their numerical digits
-
Digit Changes
Identify and record the matching number sums that are ten less than different three digit numbers by illustrating changes to the values of their hundreds, tens and ones digits
-
Changing Numbers
Identify and record number sums that are ten more than different three digit numbers using abacus diagrams to model their changing values
