Year 1 Materials and their Properties

In Science this term we have been focusing on exploring materials and their properties. We focused on identifying objects and the materials from which they were made. We then sorted materials into groups according to their properties e.g. hard/ soft, rough/smooth, rigid/flexible. We also investigated the question: Which material is best for repairing a hole in a bucket? We worked in groups to test different materials and identified which  materials were waterproof and could be used to repair the hole.
