This packet includes 66 pages of suggested activities and matching black line masters. You will also find a variety of vocabulary posters, experiments, hands-on activities and lesson ideas to compliment your science movement unit!

What’s included?

• Investigation table inspiration with matching vocabulary cards and posters
• Activities for identifying and sorting materials (pocket dice game, hula hoop sorting and exploring their favourite toys) + matching black line masters
• Vocabulary cards for property words (such as bright, bendy, small, opaque etc)
• Activities for exploring the properties that objects are made of (including a touch and feel partner game) + matching black line masters)
• Assessment task using the inquiry question – Can you design a shelter for our new pet?
• Activities to help students explore and answer the inquiry question (waterproof, strength and comfort ideas) with matching black line masters

The inquiry question “What is it made of?” will provide a wonderful basis for your science lessons. The assessment task at the end of the unit requires your little learners to design a shelter for a pet. This will provide an opportunity for your little learners to display their understanding of the key scientific concepts explored within the unit!

While I design my resources with Australian Curriculum in mind, I include alternative US spelling too.
