perform practical tasks [for example, cutting, shaping, joining and
finishing], accurately

including construction materials, textiles and ingredients,
according to their functional properties and aesthetic qualities

Science – Materials and their properties - Spring 1
•
compare and group materials together, according to whether they are solids, liquids or gases
•
observe that some materials change state when they are heated or cooled, and measure or research
the temperature at which this happens in degrees Celsius (°C)
•
identify the part played by evaporation and condensation in the water cycle and associate the rate of
evaporation with temperature.
Pupils should explore a variety of everyday materials and develop simple descriptions of states of matter.
Pupils should observe water as a solid, liquid gas and observe the changes to water when it’s heated and
cooled.
Pupils should work scientifically by grouping and classifying a variety of different materials, exploring the
effect of temperature on substances such as chocolate, butter, cream.
