Year 5/6 had their first Science lesson of the term this afternoon and we got straight into some practical investigating. This term’s topic is Properties and Changes of Materials so we started off by explaining what it means by ‘properties’ and identifying which materials had particular properties. 
The children tested several materials for hardness, flexibility, permeability, magnetism and transparency. 
They all enjoyed completing this work and finding out if their predictions were right.
