3.4.1 - Everyday Materials (Y1 + Y2)

Everyday Materials in KS1 | Practical Ideas for Year 1 and Year 2 Science In this episode of The Primary Science Podcast : Deep Dives, we explore how to teach Everyday Materials across Year 1 and Year 2 in ways that are practical, meaningful and easy to implement straight away. Joined by David Allen (Associate Professor at University of Hertfordshire and ASE Co-Chair), Jules Pottle (teacher, teacher trainer and author), and Paul Tyler (SmartSTEMS curator and ASE Scotland Co-Chair), we discuss how to keep this unit hands on and engaging while building strong scientific thinking across Key Stage 1. We explore: • Starting the Year 1 materials unit with strong hands on exploration • Teaching the difference between objects and materials • Building vocabulary naturally through talk and drama • Keeping materials hunts scientific and focused • Designing simple investigations • Using stories and real life contexts to create purpose for learning • Moving into Year 2 with suitability and material choice • Practical investigations into strength, durability and flexibility • Helping children compare materials and justify decisions • Clear progression from identifying materials to understanding why they are used This episode is packed with classroom ready ideas, simple investigations and clear thinking about progression across KS1. If you teach Year 1 or Year 2, the aim is simple. You should come away with ideas you can take straight into your classroom next week.
