Grouping materials
Everything around us is made of materials. Some things are only made of one material while others are made from many.
There are many different types of material. Plastic, wood, paper, rubber, clay, rock and stone, wool and fibre, metal and glass are all materials.
Different materials can be used in different ways. Spoons can be made of metal, bags can be made of plastic and jumpers can be made of wool.
In this module you are going to be a materials detective.

Paper Towel Testing
http://www.tappi.org/paperu/classAction/testStrength.htm#start
In research laboratories, papermakers test the paper they make for physical properties such as strength, absorbency, stretch, tear resistance, folding endurance, and stiffness. They also test for optical properties like transparency, opacity, brightness, color, and gloss.

Sorting and using materials
http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/schemes2/science/sci1c/
Through this unit children learn about the characteristics and uses of a range of common materials and vocabulary for describing and comparing materials. Experimental and investigative work focuses on: thinking about what is expected to happen turning ideas into a form that can be tested making observations and comparisons. Work in this unit also offers opportunities for using IT (see IT Unit 1D 'Labelling and classifying') to store information and for relating understanding of science to materials found in the home. This unit takes approximately 9 hours.
