Year 2 - To explain how the shapes of objects can be changed - Design a play park

Thankyou for looking at my resource.

This is the third lesson in a sequence . The lesson can be taught independently without the need for the further lessons or the previous lesson. This lesson can be picked up and taught straight from however this is fully editable.

Children will be designing a new play park. They will complete a number of tasks to ensure they have remembered their prior learning from year 1 and their previous lesson on material uses. This will also ensure that this prior learning is at the forefront of their thinking ready to apply for their new learning.

Children will discuss how easy it is to change the shape of wood. Children will be given a brief fastforward of how wood is changed to emphasis that it is complicated. This will lead into a discussion about what objects made from different materials can be easily changed shape.

Children will be shown four ways that objects shape can be changed - twist,stretch, squash and bend. This will be explicitly explained and modelled to children.

Children will move onto testing these four types of changing an objects shape.

Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge for both independent tasks.

The chilli challenge should be provided to all learners the ’ differentiation ’ will be based on how children complete the task.

Children will have stem sentences to support oracy and enable children to focus on the science rather than forming a sentence.
