Activities
- Discuss prior knowledge of the properties of different materials such as metal, wood, and plastic
- Make predictions while exploring different materials, and observing properties such as magnetism and the role of heat in chemical change
- Explore various chemical reactions and observe key changes using sensory play and experimentation.
5-6 students:
- Reflect on prior knowledge of the properties and behaviour of solids, liquids, and gases
- Apply the scientific method and conduct fair tests while exploring different materials, observing properties such as the role of heat in chemical change, and the mass of different states of matter
- Conduct various chemical reactions and apply new terminology to describe chemical change, reversible vs irreversible reactions, and change in properties.
Scope of Learning
Together we’ll select the learning outcomes that best suit class abilities and curriculum requirements. Examples include;
- Comparing the use of materials for particular uses in our everyday lives
- Identify and describe the various properties and behaviour of solids, liquids and gases
- Analyse and describe the differences between physical and chemical change
- Understand and apply basic laboratory procedures & practices of measurement, accuracy & equipment use
- Application of scientific methodology and terminology
- Communicate and discuss various observations and make conclusions.
