2S - Science: Materials (changing shape)

Lesson: Science

Today, we began our new science topic, Materials. We learned that materials are what everything is made from and there are many different materials.  All materials have their own properties which means how they behave under different conditions and we we discussed the suitability of some materials for certain items because of their properties.

We then talked about how to change the shape of materials by stretching, squashing, twisting and bending.  We investigated a range of materials to see if their shape could be changed using these methods.
