Materials investigation resource pack - Pirate themed (Year 1)

A fantastic resource pack covering 3 lessons.
This beautiful resource pack will support children to investigate materials, within a fun pirate theme. Lesson 1 introduces children to materials and identifying what objects are made from. Lesson 2 allows children to investigate which materials float and which materials sink. The final lesson encourages children to investigate waterproof and absorbent materials.
This resource pack includes:
Material's introduction PowerPoint introduction with a fun pirate twist
Material match activity - a selection of pictures for children to match with the material they are made from or to write the material they are made from next to the material for your more able children. (These work great as a cut and stick activity or why not reduce the mess in your class and print them onto stickers instead!)
Marking stickers - these can also be printed on paper, cut and stuck into children's books
A set of six beautiful play dough mats with a fun pirate theme. Encourage your children to make a play dough pirate ship out of wooden planks, cutlery out of metal and sails out of fabric.
A brilliant PowerPoint to introduce children to floating and sinking and to set them the challenge of a science investigation.
A brilliant PowerPoint to introduce children to waterproof and absorbent materials. It sets a pirate experiment challenge with instructions on how to carry out the experiment.
A planning overview to outline the main activity and listing some independent activity ideas too.
