What’s included in the Year 1 Everyday Materials 5-Minute Science resource and why is it useful?

Year 1 Everyday Materials 5-Minute Science is a set of three revision worksheets covering the whole topic of everyday materials. These have been designed to give your children up to three opportunities to engage in deliberate practice outside of the teaching of the topic. This resource covers naming everyday materials, distinguishing an object from the material it is made from, describing simple physical properties such as hard, soft, shiny, transparent, absorbent and waterproof, and selecting a suitable material for a purpose.

How do our 5 Minute Science resources work?

As these resources are designed for re-cap and revision, you could use 5 Minute Science resources during the topic for early morning work, towards the end of the topic or even later in the year as a re-cap. The content across the three worksheets covers the national curriculum objectives for everyday materials year 1 science.

Each unit in the science curriculum has been covered in the 5 Minute Science range.
