Changing material's shape worksheet

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.
