Big Bang Education’s ‘Mixtures & Materials’ program has been designed to help teachers achieve the Australian Curriculum science understanding in Chemical Sciences for Year 2:
Different materials can be combined for a particular purpose (ACSSU031).
Year 2 students will first experience an entertaining science show which recaps the basics of materials and their properties, including exploring what happens when different materials are mixed or combined, and how this changes their properties.
During the hands-on workshop that follows, students will have the chance to mix some commonly encountered materials and observe how combining them changes their properties and uses.
