Year Level: Year 1

Applicable LearningAreas/Subjects: Science

Unit Plan

Material madnessIn this unit, students explore how everyday materials can be physically changed in a variety of ways according to their properties. They describe the actions used to physically change materials to make objects for different purposes, understanding that science involves asking questions about and describing changes to objects that are used in their everyday lives.

Students respond to questions, make predictions and participate in guided investigations exploring the effects of making changes to materials and objects. They use a range of methods to sort information and collect and record observations, comparing them with the observations of others. They modify a material for a given purpose, test their modifications and compare their observations with predictions.

Assessment name: Rocking the boatAssessment description: Students describe the effects of physically changing a material to make a boat that floats. Students make a prediction, participate in a guided investigation and record and share observations.In this unit, assessment of student learning aligns to the following aspects of the achievement standard.By the end of Year 1, students describe objects and events that they encounter in their everyday lives, and the effects of interacting with materials and objects. They describe changes in their local environment and how different places meet the needs of living things.Students respond to questions, make predictions, and participate in guided investigations of everyday phenomena. They follow instructions to record and sort their observations and share them with others.Monitoring student learningStudent learning should be monitored throughout the teaching and learning process to determine student progress and learning needs.Each lesson provides opportunities to gather evidence about how students are progressing and what they need to learn next.Specific monitoring opportunities in this unit may include observations, consultations and samples of student work, for example:Monitoring activityActivity name: Investigating a material's ability to hold objects (Lesson 4)Activity description: Students choose a material and predict its suitability for making a container to hold marbles. Students make changes and observe the effects of those changes. Students use their science understanding to explain their observations.Monitoring activityActivity name: Investigating a material's ability to contain water (Lesson 6)Activity description: Students use knowledge of the properties of materials to make changes to a selected material for the purpose of containing water.

FeedbackFeedback may relate to writing and creating texts. In this unit this may include students’ ability to:

confusing names of materials with their properties. Ask students to name the material, and then describe that material. Explain that the describing words are the properties of the material.

suggesting changes which could be made without considering the properties of the material (e.g. fold and wood). Ask students to describe the properties of a material, and then ask them to physically change the material. Explain that the properties of the material allow it to be physically changed in certain ways.

thinking that 'hard', 'strong' and 'rigid' mean the same thing. Explain to students that these words do not always mean the same thing, e.g. thin ice (hard and rigid but not strong), thick rubber (strong but not hard or rigid).

thinking that a material is containing objects when it is being held in a cupped hand. Explain to students that for a material to contain objects it must do so independently. thinking all materials are suitable for wet conditions because they will dry. Explain that when some materials get wet their properties change, making them less usable. not recognising that the properties of materials can change when the materials get wet. Allow students to experience changes to properties when materials are wet. using materials without being able to explain what properties make it suitable. Suggest substitutions of unsuitable materials to focus student attention on the properties of suitable

materials. not identifying warming as a way of physically changing a material. Explain that warming is an example of an action that we can apply to physically change some of the properties of a

material or object. thinking that the only way to observe change is by sight. Explain that some changes can be observed by touch, smell or sound. thinking that if a material has been recycled into a new object, it has not had changes made to it, because it is new. Explain that a material has changes made to it so it can become

another useful object.

Teaching Sequence

Topic Understanding physically changing materials Topic Duration 2 Lessons

Overview Throughout this lesson series, students will require ready access to ICT at a whole-class level. Students will have the opportunity to apply what they have learned about physically changing materials to the contexts of warming and recycling.Spend a short time at the start of each lesson revising concepts, facts or skills and enhancing understanding and fluency.End each lesson with a review of student learning in that lesson.
