Reading Task (9 - 9:25am)

• Look at the text below. It is a non-fiction text called 'Great Explorers' by Charlotte Guillain. 
• Non-fiction means that the text contains facts, not a story. 
• At the end of the text, there is a glossary. A glossary is a page at the back of the book that tells you what some words mean.
• Read the text to your adult.
• Now discuss these words and phrases with your adult. You can use the glossary to help you. Talk about what they mean:

• What materials can you think of?
• What scientific vocabulary do you know that can be used to describe properties? (E.g. rough, smooth etc.)

-Have a look at the pictures below. Think which picture could be the odd one out and tell your adult why. There are no wrong answers!

 

Main:

• Today you are going to be finding out how the shapes of objects can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting and stretching.
• You are going to do an investigation. Ask your adult for blu-tac, a paperclip, an elastic band and a ruler. If you haven't got those objects, you could ask your adult for different objects. Make sure that they are safe to use.
• For each object, test if you can squash, bend, twist and stretch it. Fill in a table like the one below. Use a tick or a cross. If you have a printer, you could print the table below. Alternatively you could use a ruler to draw a table in your science book. Do not rush. There will be time to complete this task this afternoon. It needs to look like this:

• Once you have filled in the table, write about your results under the table in your book. Copy and finish the sentence: I found out that...'
