Learning Objective: Students will know the name of everyday materials. Two sorting worksheets. One for sorting wood, metal and glass and one for sorting fabric, plastic and cardboard. Worksheets can be completed as a simple cut and stick activity or can be laminated and the symbols velcroed to be used again and again.

This lesson helps Year 2 children name everyday materials, describe them using property words like strong, bendy, waterproof and transparent, and explain why materials are chosen for particular jobs. It is a ready-to-teach PowerPoint scaffold for an hour-long lesson on everyday materials, aligned to the KS1 science curriculum. Includes a material detectives hunt and a design-a-raincoat water test, plus a fun “silly materials” slide to spark discussion.

Power point: The high end, attractive and informative power point has detailed instructions and notes, step-by-step animations, with starter, main and plenary activities, as well as home learning included. A lesson plan is also included (MS Publisher file). Learning Outcomes: In this lesson, students will gain an understanding of: • Developing their drawing and visualising skills, increasing their ability to draw freehand more quickly and confidently. • 5 different major activities, including a Super challenge task. • The technique used for rendering a range of materials realistically, including; wood, concrete, metal, glass, rubber and plastic • In-depth knowledge of rendering wood, metal and glass, with step by step guidance on how to get a great outcome • How to create the illusion that an object is made from a particular material and describe how light falls on it. • Literacy: Students will also learn a wide range of subject specific key words Worksheets: The worksheets are differentiated into two categories: • ‘LA’ worksheets having additional support in terms of the outcomes as well as sentence stems, word banks, etc. • The second category of worksheet has differentiation in the form of more open ended tasks as well as ‘Super Challenges’.

A set of exam style questions for paper 2, along with a mark scheme. Also includes additional familiarisation questions for paper 1 and 2 along with suggested answers. All based on the 2026 preliminary material for AQA Level 3 Certificate in Mathematical Studies. The additional questions are called “Set B” and “Set C” as the first ones are available freely on my website. Please note that these resources may be available without payment after the 2026 exams series.

Theory lesson covering elements of natural materials designed for the WJEC/EDUQAS spec.

A highly effective worksheet that allows Key Stage 4 pupils to fully investigate key elements of Design & Technology. This resource focuses on properties of materials: Physical Properties (absorbency, resistance to moisture, density, fusibility, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity) and Mechanical/Working Properties (strength, hardness, toughness, malleability, ductility, elasticity) It also touches on mechanical movement (tension, compression, shear, torsion and bending) Buy this worksheet… It’s the most effective I’ve ever made This resource can be used at the heart of a full lesson, or used as standalone cover work. Please take a moment to look at other resources that i am selling through TES, I can help you to enhance your teaching of DT with my high quality materials. I will be selling this worksheet alongside several others as a bundle, which is targeted towards individual year groups. More resources, less cost.

A great worksheet for children to explore the materials around.

Includes a PP designed to teach different questions (own words, word choice, sentence structure, tone and the final question) as well as supplementary materials to test pupils’ understanding of what they’ve been taught. Includes practice materials for the final question as well as full practice papers.

This resource was initially created for the OCR A syllabus and is written in the order of the textbook. However, it can be applied to other exam boards too. Includes: Powerpoint Worksheets / Exam questions Mark schemes

Engage your KS1 scientists with this hands-on worksheet exploring how different materials can change shape! Children are given a variety of everyday materials and are encouraged to make predictions about whether they can alter the shape using simple methods such as bending, stretching, squashing, or twisting. The worksheet includes a clear, easy-to-use table where children record their observations using ticks or crosses, helping them to compare outcomes and develop their scientific thinking. On the back, thought-provoking conclusion questions encourage children to reflect on their findings and explain why some materials change shape while others do not. This activity supports practical investigation skills, encourages prediction and observation, and promotes discussion, making it perfect for science lessons or independent exploration. Ideal for introducing key concepts in materials and their properties in a fun and engaging way.

Character links to target audience. Lesson 4: Audience response to His Dark Materials – including audience numbers, critical response and preferred/oppositional readings of His Dark Materials. Lesson 5: A semiotic analysis of His Dark Materials – including CLAMPS. Lesson 6 and 7: Media Language theory including genre, Propp, Todorov, Barthes and Levi-Strauss. Lesson 8: Representation in His Dark Materials. Lesson 9: The remit and funding of BBC. The production companies behind His Dark Materials. The BBC/HBO link. The multi-platform, multi-channel media landscape. Lesson 10: Comparing His Dark Materials and Dr. Who. As reviewers have stated for previous Media Studies CSPs shared on TES: “Just buy it!” “Your resources have been life savers!” “Well worth the money and really saved my life” “I just wanted to say that as a non-specialist these resources are worth every single penny! Thank you so much for making and sharing them.” “Blown away by this! Can’t thank you enough!” “They have saved me a huge amount of time and the detail that goes into your work is second to none. You put others to shame who charge twice as much for very little. Can’t thank you enough.” “Your new spec resources are saving me hours & hours of work! Thanks, they are really good.” “These resources are so useful - I cannot tell you how much time they have save me - very clear to follow and easy to adapt for revision material — well worth the money”
