Science Scheme | Year 1 | Block 2: Everyday Materials | Lesson 1 introduces pupils to common materials and helps them identify the materials used to make everyday objects. This lesson focuses on observing, naming and describing materials, and supports pupils to start thinking about their properties.

Designed to save you time, this complete science lesson pack includes:
