Science- investigating materials

This half term year 2 are learning about everyday materials in Science. This week we completed an investigation in class where we tried to find materials and objects in class which would bend, squash, stretch and twist. We discovered that there are some objects which cannot change state and some that might  be able to change in different ways. We discussed how very hard materials changed less often that soft, flexible materials. 
This was our first Scientific investigation in year 2 and I was very impressed by how the children moved around the classroom, carefully and sensibly investigating materials and working well with their partners.
