In term 2 we have been finding out about Materials as part of our science and technology project. We are focusing on these success criteria:

I can identify the origin of different materials.
I can describe the properties of materials.
I can explain why materials are used for different purposes.
I can identify ways we can reduce, reuse and recycle different materials.

We had fun working with a partner on ‘the egg drop challenge’! We tried to create a container which could protect a boiled egg from a high drop over the infant hall. We had great discussions about the properties of the materials we used in our designs and why our eggs did or did not ‘survive’ the drop.

Have a look at some of our egg countainers!
