Today's Lesson
Introduction
Ask your student to complete the 📄 Waterproof worksheet independently.
Explain that the task is all about remembering what they have learnt about waterproof and non-waterproof materials in previous sessions. Ask them to have a go by themselves, and if they find some of it difficult, to try hard and to have a sensible guess.
Use this as a chance to observe your student working without support, and to identify what they find easy and what they find challenging.
Main Activity
When they have completed the task, go through the sheet with your student and discuss their answers.
Go over any materials or objects that your student may have misconceptions about. If necessary, find some of these objects in the home and carry out a waterproof testing activity again, like they did when choosing a material to fix the umbrella.
Apply
When you feel that the ideas have been understood fully, ask your student to draw and/or write a set of instructions for another student in Year One who is just beginning to learn about waterproof materials. The instructions should explain and teach this student how to carry out their own waterproof testing activity.
The pictures should show objects they could test, and the instructions should tell them what to do.
Your student may be able to write a sentence for each instruction, or they may need to write a key word only for each. Encourage them to number their instructions to show the order in which to do the steps in the activity.
