Year 1 Material Investigations Activities

The Material Investigations activity set offers a comprehensive and engaging approach to teaching KS1 students about the properties of various materials through hands-on experiments. From testing waterproof qualities and investigating buoyancy to exploring magnetism and heat absorption, these activities provide a diverse range of scientific inquiries that encourage critical thinking and observation skills. By challenging students to make objects sink or float and testing the strength of different materials, the program fosters problem-solving abilities while aligning with the National Curriculum of England's standards for Science. This resource not only educates children about material properties but also instills a sense of curiosity and scientific exploration, making it an invaluable tool for both classroom and homeschool environments.
