To know the difference between an object and its materials The Three Little Pig Building Business

Thankyou for looking at my resource.

In this lesson children will learn that they are helping the Three Little Pigs set up a building business.

They will start by rewinding to their previous learning and identify the name of every materials in Three Little Pigs hardware store. Children will then learn about the mistake (scientific misconception) one of the pigs has made with Mummy Bear’s order. Children will discuss with a partner what mistake they have noticed. The teacher will then bring together observations in a scientific way by explaining that the pig delivered the materials not the objects. The teacher will define and explain the differences. Children will then do a number of examples together were they need to identify the object, the use and then the material used.

Children’s independent task.

Children will find objects around the classroom. They will draw a diagram of the object and as they did a a class identify the object, the use and then the material used.

Helping hands - A teacher supported ‘team’ will go round together finding objects.
Chilli Challenge - Children will identify objects with multiple materials.
