Where does it belong?

Today, the children received an email off 'NASA' asking them to help investigate materials. The children were given a list of different materials and had to organise them into groups depending on their properties. Please find below photographs of the children organising.

Learning Objective - to communicate clearly through discussion using relevant scientific vocabulary


The children were given a range of materials on slips of paper and had to work as a group to classify them by their propoerties.They then had to justify this to the class. The children created some interesting group titles; Food, Liquids, Helpful things, Powders, soft, hard and after a long discussion one group thought of gas.

A very pleasing activity with the children working together well to jusity their reasons.
