Full teaching script
  1. Today: Materials and their uses. Our goal: Say why an object is made from a certain material.
  2. Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
  3. We pick materials for their properties. Glass is see-through so windows are glass. Wool is warm so jumpers are wool. Metal is strong so bridges use it.
  4. Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
  5. Your turn: Find three objects and say why their material suits the job.
  6. Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
