Tuesday
Today, we are going to look at posters about different experiences you can have on days out.
What is the purpose?
What is the reason for the poster? Is it to entertain, to share information, to warn or advise you or to explain how something happens?
Who is the audience?
Is it meant for one person? Does it have an individual's name on like an email or a text message or is it for anybody to read? Do you think it is aimed at children or adults?
Let's take a look at one together.
To be able to exchange a coin with other coins of different denominations.
Let's explore.
Let's learn.
Let's try the guided practice together.
Turn to page 27 and 28.
Can you identify and explain why a material is suitable or not suitable for a purpose?
What do you know about this scientist? Can you deduce anything from the photographs?
- Do you think he does his work now or did he live and work in the past?
- Is there anything in the photographs which gives you a clue about the type of science he was involved in?
- Charles Macintosh developed new fabrics. How do you think he helped people?
Charles Macintosh was born in Glasgow, in Scotland in 1766. He loved science. He experimented with different ways to make new materials.
Whilst Charles was investigating, he found that rubber could be dissolved and turned into a liquid. This made the rubber flexible and soft as well as waterproof. Charles wanted to make rubber spreadable so that he could paint it onto fabric. Charles realised that he had made a flexible waterproof fabric that could be used for clothes.
Charles started to use this fabric to make waterproof coats called Mackintoshes. You can still buy a Mackintosh or Mac today (as you can see in the photograph above) and many people still use these raincoats.
An object is something that you can touch.
A material is what the object is made from.
Let's recap the properties of materials that we looked at last week. Sort the objects on your table by their properties. What do you notice?
Which material would be suitable for a baby's blanket?
List two properties to explain why you have chosen this material.
