PLASTICINE INVESTIGATORS
LEARNING
INTENTIONS
Science Understanding /
Chemical sciences / Year 1
In these investigations, the physical changes made to
plasticine when it is manipulated in different ways,
including the softening of the material by warming,
are investigated.
Learning Intentions
Students will be able to:
• understand how materials can be changed by
interacting physically with the material (plasticine)
[including temperature change];
• understand and use appropriate scientific vocabulary
to describe and compare properties of materials;
• measure by comparing objects, or by using informal units;
• identify and explore information and ideas;
• respond to questions, make predictions, and participate
in guided investigations;
• follow instructions to record (including the option of
using digital technologies) and to sort their observations
and share them with others.
