Year 1 Science: Everyday Materials: Materials and Sorting Objects

This Year 1 science resource helps children to identify everyday materials and to sort objects according to the materials from which they are made. Children will learn useful topic-related words, be posed interesting questions (Think-lets), follow highly structured teaching slides (Teach-lets) about objects and materials and have their scientific knowledge and understanding assessed throughout (Quiz-lets).

This resource provides 3 increasingly difficult and differentiated challenges. The easier challenge asks children to sort everyday objects according to the materials from which they are made, the moderate challenge asks children to identify which objects have been sorted wrongly (and to explain how they know), and the harder challenge asks children to sort objects according to the material or materials from which they are made. This is trickier than Challenge 1. All useful words, visual image prompts, sentence starters and answers are provided.

‘Everyday Materials - Materials and Sorting Objects’ can be explored through this exciting, engaging and original resource. It will give you the tools to teach with focus and confidence, knowing your pupils will successfully develop essential scientific knowledge and skills.
