1 - Getting Started ~3 mins
Look! A soft ball of play-dough. What might happen if I give it a big push?
2 - Look and Wonder ~3 mins
Today's word: change — when something looks different after we push, squash or bend it.
Will the ball stay round, or will it look different?
3 - Squash, Roll and Bend ~13 mins
You each have dough, shiny foil, paper and a bendy stick. Push them. What changes?
4 - What Changed? ~5 mins
Hold up one thing you changed. Tell us: what did you do, and how does it look now?
5 - Make-sense Talk ~4 mins
When we push, squash or bend soft things, they can look different. That is change.
Someone who makes bowls pushes soft clay so we can use them. What did your hands change today?
