A resource that was created for use in year 1 and 2 lesson in Science. The lesson was used for a learning together Science session when investigating materials but can also be used within the classroom with just the children. The children were to think about materials that sink and float, and those which are waterproof and what each of those words mean. The children were then asked to design and label a boat for the boy and the penguin to travel to the South Pole using the 'junk' materials that they had brought in. They were then asked to make their design, test it and then evaluate at the end. This pack contains the powerpoint used to explain what to do for the children and also looked at the meaning of the different words we were talking about. It also contains the experiment sheet.

A set of 7 of the Thinker's Keys for year 1 and 2 linked to the book 'Lost and Found' which we used as a topic. The thinker's keys are used to promote a higher level of thinking. The children in my class worked in pairs to complete the different keys and absolutely loved doing it!
