Hello everybody.

It's Ms. Panchal here.

I'm so glad and excited that you've decided to join me on today's science lesson.

Now we're going to start a new topic all on rocks and soils today.

And so our lesson is going to be focusing on learning all about rocks.

We've got lots of learning to do today.

So are you ready to start with me? Let's go.

So the outcome for our lesson today is I can explain that rock occurs naturally and can be used for different purposes.

So we're going to talk through some key words that we're going to use in our lesson today and that will probably come up in other lessons in this topic.

So it's important with these keywords that we practise saying them.

So I'm going to say the word and I would like you to repeat it back to me.

Material.

Fantastic.

My turn rock, your turn.

Super job.

My turn earth your turn.

Fantastic.

My turn natural, your turn.

Wow, amazing.

My turn quarry your turn.

Wow, that last one was a tricky one but you all gave it a fantastic go.

So well done everybody.

Now we're going to be thinking about these words in today's lesson.

So we're going to learn a little bit about what these words mean, but don't worry too much because we're going to learn throughout the lesson.

So a material is what we use to make things from.

Rock is a solid material that occurs naturally in earth.

Earth is the planet we live on.

Things that are natural, are found in nature and have not been made by people.

A quarry is a place where rock is dug outta the ground.

So as I said, don't worry too much if you're not too sure on these words because we're going to learn all about them in today's lesson.

So our lesson today is split up into two sections.

So we're first going to start off by thinking about that rock is a natural material and then we're going to move on to thinking about using rock.

So let's get started with the first parts of our lesson.

So a material is what we use to make things from.

There are lots of different types of materials for example, wood, metal and plastic.

Maybe you've seen some of these materials before.

What might we make from these materials? Have a think with your talk partner.

Excellent work everybody.

So for wood for example, you may make a wooden spoon out of wood.

Metal, we may make a metal spoon or a metal sauce spoon and plastic.

We may make plastic chairs.

So there's lots of different things that we can make from these materials.

Well done everyone.

So look at these objects you might find in the classroom and what materials are they made from.

So if you are in a classroom, I suggest you go around in the classroom and see what different types of materials you can see.

And if you're not in a classroom, I want you to look really carefully at this picture on the screen or different materials can you see? And what are they made from? Pause the video here and then we'll go through the answers shortly.

Have a go.

Amazing work everybody well done.

So let's go through some of the objects.

So we've got a glass screen, we've got paper signs, we've got a wool carpet, we've got cotton cushions, we've got plastic containers and we've got a wooden trolley.

So in this classroom picture here, we've got lots of different objects and lots of them are made of completely different materials.

Did you find similar objects or did you find some different ones? Well done for having a good go.

Fantastic work everybody.

So let's do a check of our learning.

True or false? A material is an object that we make outta something.

True or false, what do you think? Super job the answer is false.

Now we to think about why that is false.

Do we think because A, a material is what we use to make objects, or B, a material is only used for making clothes? Which one do you think is the correct answer? Amazing work the answer is A.

So a material is what we use to make objects super work everyone well done.

So some materials are natural and natural materials are found on earth in nature and have not been made by people.

For example, wool is natural, it comes from sheep.

Rubber is natural, it comes from trees, and cotton is natural, it comes from a cotton plant.

So all of these materials here are natural.

That means they occur on our earth completely naturally and they have not been made by people.

People may change them later on, but originally they are on earth already.

Can you think of any other examples found in nature? Have a think.

Super thinking everybody well done.

So you might have seen rocks in different places in nature.

So you may have seen rocks near mountains, pebbles on the beach, or evenings and caves.

Can you think of any other places you may have seen rocks? Have a think with your talk partner, where else have you seen rocks before? Have a think.

Great job everyone well done.

There are actually lots of other places we can find rocks as well.

So rock is a natural material.

So we've got three pictures here.

We've got pieces of rock, boulder and rock formation.

So rocks can be many shapes and sizes, but where do you think rocks come from in nature? So we can see here and we know that rocks can come in many shapes and sizes, but where do rocks actually come from in nature? Well that's what we're going to learn about.

Rock is the solid part of earth's surface or crust.

And we've got a picture of a digger here and some rocks are under the ground and we need to dig them out using machines.

And we've got an example of a quarry here.

The place we dig rocks out of the ground is called a quarry.

Can you practise saying that again for me? My turn quarry, your turn.

Amazing well done.

That word is quite a tricky one to say.

So we know here that a quarry is a place where we dig rocks out of the ground.

Fantastic work everybody well done.

So let's do a quick check of our learning so far.

Which of these are natural materials? We've got A water, B sand, or C plastic.

Have a little think.

Well done everyone.

Water and sand are natural materials.

Let's do another question.

True or false? Rock is a natural material.

Do we think that's true, or do we think that's false? What do you think? Super job the answer is true.

Now we need to think about why it is true.

Do we think because A, rock is a natural material as we buy rocks from a builder's merchant.

Or B, rock is a natural material as we dig rocks from the ground? Which answer do you think is correct, A or B? Super work everyone the answer is B.

So rock is a natural material as we dig rocks from the ground.

Super work everyone.

So let's move on to the first task now.

So I would like you to research how we get rocks from earth.

So you might use books or the internet to help you and you may want to ask an adult to help you too.

You can use drawings or photographs to create a comic strip or you can do make a poster to show each stage of the quarry, the natural rock from the ground.

So there are some key words that I want you to try really hard to use.

So I would like you to think about using the word rock, natural quarry, dig ground and material.

So pause the video here and have a go at the task.

You could do a comic strip, you could do a poster completely up to you.

Have have a go at the task and we'll go through an example answer really soon.

Have fun.

Amazing work everybody, well done.

I hope you had a really good time there and found it really interesting to research how we get rocks from earth.

So this is an example answer.

So this child has done a picture here and started off with, first we find a suitable quarry which contains natural rock.

Then we use diggers and sometimes dynamite to quarry the rock from the ground.

And the natural rock is then loaded into huge trucks and this natural material is taken to a factory or stone mason to be used.

Did you get some of these steps as well or did you get a few different ones? Maybe you can compare your work to your partner.

Was it the same or was it a little bit different? Well done for having a go at this task everybody and using research to help us find out how we get rocks from the earth.

I'm so impressed with your work so far, well done everybody.

So I want to move on to the next part of the task now.

So Sophia is wondering, if all rocks are natural materials.

So Sophia says, "I thought some rocks are made by humans.

My dad works in a factory that makes concrete and tarmac and these are kinds of rocks, aren't they?" What do you think about what Sophia is thinking? So we've got tarmac and concrete there.

Think about what Sophia has said.

Talk to your partner about what you think.

Super work everyone well done.

So June has said "Tarmac, concrete and brick are a human made material.

They are not a natural material like rock.

So they need to be manufactured in a factory." Did you get the same answer as June or did you get something a little bit different? Maybe compare your answer to somebody else in your group.

Well done for having a good go at this task.

So we've completed the first part of our lesson where we've understood that rock is a natural material.

So we're now going to move on to using rock.

So people often use natural materials to make things.

Wool we know is natural can actually be made into a jumper which is manmade.

I know that in the winter I like to wear a nice cosy jumper to keep me warm, maybe you like doing the same.

People dye the wool from sheep to knit it into jumpers and rubber we know is natural can be made for example into a hot water bottle, which is manmade.

Now I like to cuddle up to a hot water bottle definitely fits very cold outside.

People heat up the rubber and mix it with other materials to make a hot water bottle.

Now these are just two examples, but wool and rubber can be made into lots of different things.

Rock is a natural material that is used all around us.

Look at these pictures and describe what rock is being used for.

So what do we think rock is being used for here? Can you tell me? Well done it's for castle walls.

What about the next picture, can you tell me? Fantastic is used as a roof.

What about the next picture, can you tell me what rock is being used for? It's a statue.

Well done have you seen a statue before? And the last one, can you see and tell me what Rocky's being used for here.

Can anyone tell me? Fantastic it's being used as chalk.

So rock is dug from a quarry and shaped by humans into useful objects.

Can you think of any objects made from rock? So pause the video here and maybe jot down some my ideas on a whiteboard with your partner.

Can you think of any objects made from rock? Off you go.

Super job everyone.

So for example, the arch has been made from lots of pieces of rock built on top of each other.

The ornament has been carved from a piece of rock to make a face and these gemstones have been polished and cut to make them into jewellery.

So there are lots of different objects that can be made from rock and maybe you've seen some of these types of objects before.

Fantastic work everybody well done.

So let's move on.

These materials look like rock, but they are not found naturally.

So you've got tarmac, concrete and brick.

They are not rock because these materials are made by humans.

So they might look a little bit similar to rock, but actually they are not found naturally and humans have made them.

Tarmac, concrete and brick are human made materials that are often used to make brick houses, tarmac roads and concrete pavements.

Can you think of any other places these materials are used? Pause the video here and have a think with your talk partner.

Where else do you know that these materials are used? Off you go.

Amazing work everybody well done.

So these materials can actually be used in lots of different places and we see them in our everyday lives well done everyone.

So let's do a quick check of our learning.

Which of these are natural materials? We've got A tarmac, B concrete, or C rock.

Which of these are natural materials? Have a think.

Super work, everybody the answer is C.

Rock is in natural material.

And we looked a little bit earlier in the lesson that tarmac and concrete are not natural materials.

They're human made materials.

Well done everybody.

Let's go on to the next question.

Which of these objects are usually made from rock? We've got A, figures, B wall, or C steps.

What do you think? Amazing work everybody well done.

The answer is A figures, and C steps.

I'm so impressed with your learning so far everybody, well done keep up the good work.

Let's do another question to check our learning.

Which of these statements about rock are correct? A, all rock is natural and comes from the ground.

B, some rock is natural and some is human made.

C materials made by humans such as concrete and brick are not rock.

So which of these statements about rock are correct? Have a think.

Super work, everybody.

The answer is A and C, well done.

So we are going to move on to the next task now.

So I would like you to do something really exciting and I would like you to go on a rock hunt around your school or your local area and I want you to look for rocks being used for different purposes.

So have a think look at the different rocks and what are they used for.

So try to record what you observe as natural rock or human made material.

So I've got an example table here.

You might want to ask an adult to print it for you or you might want to make your own version of the table.

So you need to think about how was the material being used and is it a natural rock or is it human made material? You could also take some photographs of rocks using a camera or you can have a go at drawing some of the places you see different rocks.

So I'm going to ask you to pause the video here and go on your rock hunt and I'm really excited to see and learn about all the different rocks that you found.

So pause the video here off you go, click play when you're ready to continue and we'll go through some examples.

Off you go and have fun.

Amazing work everybody.

I hope you had a great time on your rock hunt and I'm really looking forward to hearing about all the things that you've discovered.

So let's go through an example.

So your table may have some of these examples in it.

Some things like tarmac and brick look like they are made from rock, but they're actually human made materials.

For example, you may have seen a roof out of natural rock, a brick wall, which is human made material, a gravestone which is made from natural rock and a road which is a human made material.

Did you get some of these and did you find some of these on your rock hunt or did you find some different things? Maybe you can compare your work to somebody else that you went on the hunt with.

Did you find similar things or did you find different things? Well done everyone for completing this task.

I know it was a little bit tricky to figure out if it was natural rock or human made, but you did really, really well and you've worked incredibly hard.

So well done everybody.

So we've come towards the end of our lesson on your introduction to rocks.

So we're going to do a summary of our learning.

So we've learned that a material is a substance from which something is made.

We have learned that rocks are a material which occurs naturally.

That means it's already on the earth, it's on not earth naturally.

Materials such as concrete, tarmac and brick are made by humans and are not rock.

So we would say they are human made materials.

We use different rocks for different purposes.

Now what I want you to do is maybe next time you're out and about if you spot a rock, I want you to have a think.

Do we think this is a natural rock or do you think is a human made rock? Now, you've all worked so hard today in this lesson and I'm so impressed with all of your ideas and all of your suggestions.

You've worked so hard and I'm really, really happy with all the learning we've done today.

So I hope you have a great rest of the day and I'm sure I'll see you very soon in the next lesson.

Bye-Bye.
