This CLE involves a hands-on activity linked to investigating the properties of matter.
Description: In this investigation the properties of materials are investigated in the context of modelling a bungee jump by an egg. There is an emphasis on linking the physical properties of materials to their use in order to solve a real-world problem.
Learning intentions
Students will be able to:
-
- identify that objects are made of materials
- understand that materials have properties
- identify the physical properties of some common materials
- understand that the properties of a material can change if the material is changed.
- select materials for uses based on their properties
- follow instructions to identify investigable questions about familiar contexts and predict likely outcomes from investigations
- make accurate observations
- record and represent observations
- use tables to organise their observations
- identify patterns from observations
- draw conclusions based on evidence.
