EGG BUNGEE JUMP
LEARNING
INTENTIONS
Science Understanding / Chemical
sciences / Year 4
In this investigation, the properties of materials are
investigated in the context of modelling a bungee
jump by an egg. There is an emphasis on linking the
physical properties of materials to their use in order
to solve a real-world problem.
Learning Intentions
Students will be able to:
• identify that objects are made of materials;
• understand that materials have properties;
• identify the physical properties of some common materials;
• understand that the properties of a material can change if
the material is changed;
• select materials for uses based on their properties;
• follow instructions to identify investigable questions about
familiar contexts and predict likely outcomes from
investigations;
• make accurate observations;
• record and represent observations;
• use tables to organise their observations;
• identify patterns from observations;
• draw conclusions based on evidence.
