CONTEXT
Welcome back to The Investigation Bureau detectives! Chief Inspector Anita Case here again to tell you about your next big case! You will investigate the cases I assign to your Division by following the clues to find out more and feeding back to me using you 'case board'. Detectives, you should add information to the board to help you solve the case. I will send you messages and 'case files' to help. Remember, follow the clues!

What is a Structure?
A structure is something that is built and designed to support a load or stand up by itself, such as buildings, bridges, or towers.
What is Stability?A structure needs to be stable so that it doesn’t fall over. A stable structure has a good base and is balanced.
Structure – Something that is built, like a building, bridge, or tower.
Stable – Strong and balanced so it doesn’t fall over.Base – The bottom part of a structure that helps it stand.Build – To make or put something together.Balance – When something stays upright and doesn’t tip over.

Everyday Materials
identify and compare the suitability of a variety of everyday materials, including wood, metal, plastic, glass, brick, rock, paper and cardboard for particular uses
find out how the shapes of solid objects made from some materials can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting and stretching
WOW! Practical Introduction
Mixed materials sort. Children set own criteria and find materials.

What materials are commonly used to make everyday objects?Common materials include wood, metal, plastic, glass, brick, rock, paper, and cardboard. These materials are used to make many of the things we see and use every day. Each one has special properties that make it useful for different jobs. We can name and recognise these materials in our homes and school.
Why are different materials used for different things?Some materials are better suited to certain jobs because of their properties. For example, metal is strong and hard, so it’s good for tools, while paper is light and easy to fold. We use glass for windows because it is clear, and plastic for bottles because it is waterproof and light. Understanding why materials are chosen helps us know how things are made.
How do we know if a material is suitable?We can test materials to see if they are strong, bendy, waterproof, hard, or soft (properties). This helps us compare them and decide which is best for a particular use. For example, cardboard is better than glass for packaging, but not for windows. By comparing materials, we learn how they behave and what they are good for.
How can the shape of a solid object be changed?Some materials can change shape when we squash, bend, twist, or stretch them. For example, rubber can be stretched and bent, but rock cannot. These changes don’t always last – some materials go back to their original shape, others stay changed. Testing how materials change helps us learn more about what they can do.
Material – What something is made from (like wood, metal, or plastic).
Property – A word that describes what a material is like (e.g. strong, bendy, waterproof).
Suitable – Good or right for a particular job or purpose.
Compare – To look at how materials are the same or different.Change – To make something different in shape (e.g. by bending, stretching, or twisting).
