Your child is learning to change a solid's shape by squashing, bending, twisting, or stretching.
- Demonstrate four ways to change the shape of a solid: squashing, bending, twisting, stretching
- Compare how different materials respond to these forces (e.g. clay squashes easily, wood does not)
One skill from the map, ages 6–7 — its page has the rest of the checklist and what comes next. Candidate alignment, machine-suggested and unreviewed (v0.1).
“recognise that materials can be changed physically without changing their material composition and explore the effect of different actions on materials including bending, twisting, stretching and breaking into smaller pieces”
