The project is based on how to describe the simple physical properties of a variety of everyday materials and compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of their simple physical properties.

This project can be covered in isolation or as part of a project about materials. It is part of the ”KS1 Science” series of project packs and is designed to create a number of language rich speaking and listening opportunities leading into high quality writing outcomes. Activities leading to written outcomes can be taught as a sequence of lessons or as stand alone activities.
