Starter · 3 min
Think back. Say, sign or point.
- Name one use of a rock.
- What does a water test check?
- What do people and animals get from food?
Today I will check:

I do · 5 min
Watch a row go in a table.
Words: natural · human-made · material · table
| Word | It means | Example |
|---|---|---|
| natural | from nature, not made into a new item | A raw rock is natural. |
| human-made | made or changed by people | People make a brick from clay. |
| material | what a thing is made of | The brick has clay in it. |
| table | rows and columns for facts | This row says brick: made. |
Watch: This raw rock is from nature. I write raw rock in the Natural row.
Show me: Is a finished brick raw clay, or an item made by people?
Pre-teach words; show the full model; ask the show-me check.
We do · 7 min

Our turn: People shape and fire clay to make a brick. I write brick in the ____ row.
Talk, then sort.
Ready to sort.

We do 2 · 5 min
Choose one answer. All of us show it.
Choose a step.
All of us: People shape sand into a glass bottle. What is the finished bottle?
Say why.
Take one quiet minute to reset.
Take all pupil responses at once; use decision rule and parallel hinge.
Independent · 8 min
Make a row for raw and made items.
Say it first. You can plan in any language.
Point, sign, speak, draw, type, write, use a scribe or a staff-captured photo.
F
Put one raw and one made item in groups. Fill one row.
Say: This ____ goes in the ____ group.
M
Sort four items. Add two rows to a table.
Say: I put ____ in the table as ____.
H
Why is clay natural but a brick made?
Say: The raw ____ is ____, but the finished ____ is ____.
Go deeper: An object has two materials. How can your table show both?
Mixed item judge: Choose a made item with two raw materials. Plan a fair row.
Choose one adult for supported pupils, one for group; swap across the week.
Try it with kit · prepared model
Kit: Clean blunt raw rock, picture cards of made items, tray
- Hold the checked rock, sort it with the made-item cards, then fill a table row.
Risk: A raw rock could have a rough edge or loose dust.
Safe: Use only a clean blunt checked rock on a tray. Do not taste or scrape it; wash hands after.
Check the school risk assessment and exact prepared kit. This is optional model rehearsal, not a claimed core practical.
