Pupils needing extra support

Could use the Knowledge organiser: Science – Everyday materials and the Knowledge organiser: Science – Uses of everyday materials to help them answer the questions in the Recap and recall; could use the Knowledge organiser: Science – Microhabitats to help them answer the questions in the Attention grabber; could be given a structure as a starting point for the building task; could have suitable materials pre-selected to use in the building task; could be given guidance about suitable material choices during the building task.

Pupils working at greater depth

Could ask further questions and suggest how they could be answered (e.g. can you build a strong home?); could include additional features in their homes, such as a soft area for sleeping, an area to store food and entrances or tunnels; should evaluate their homes by reflecting on what they would improve next time.
