Hello everybody.

My name is Ms. Panchal and I'm so excited to do today's science lesson with you.

We are going to be looking and learning all about some new materials and it's part of our bigger unit of learning all about everyday materials.

Now have you got your thinking cap on? I've put mine on.

We've got lots of learning to do today.

Are you ready? Let's go.

So the outcome for our lesson today is I can talk about different jobs linked to science.

So let's practise saying some keywords.

My turn, career.

Your turn.

Fantastic job everyone.

My turn scientist.

Your turn.

Wow, everyone.

My turn, investigate, your turn.

Amazing work everybody.

My turn, properties, your turn.

Wow, everyone.

Give yourselves a pat on the back.

That was excellent practise of saying our keywords.

Now we are going to use these keywords in our lesson today.

So our lesson today is split up into two parts.

So we're first going to think about different careers in science and then we're going to think about special clothes that are worn for those jobs.

So Andeep and Sam are talking about what they want to be when they're older and Sam says, "I would like to be a vet." And Andeep said, "I would like to be a science teacher." What would you like to be when you are older? Have a think with your talk partner and share your ideas.

Well done everyone.

I really enjoyed hearing about what you want to be when you are older.

When I was little I wanted to be a teacher.

What did you want to be? Well done everyone.

So when you get older, you can choose a career that interests you.

A career is a job that a person chooses to do.

For example, a florist, a personal trainer, a computer engineer.

So we've already thought a little bit about what career you would like to do and maybe think is that similar or different to your talk partners? Do you all want to do the same job when you are older or do you want to do different jobs? Have a think within small groups.

Super job everyone.

Well done.

I hope you had a great time discussing with your other people in your group about what job you would like to do when you are older.

Let's have a recap of our learning.

A job that someone chooses to do is their, A, choice, B, task, C, career.

Which one do you think is correct? Amazing work everybody.

The answer is C, career.

So a job that someone chooses to do is called their career.

Now some people choose to have a career in science and this means that they use science every day as part of their job and there are many different science careers.

Can you think of any? So pause the video here and maybe you can put your hand up to tell your adult of any different careers you can think of that involves science.

Have a little think.

Super job everyone.

Well done.

I can really see you've got your thinking hats on today.

So for example, we have a geologist and they use science in their everyday job, a zookeeper or even a marine biologist.

How do you think these people use science in their jobs? Have a little think.

Fantastic thinking everybody.

Now we know that these jobs use science and for example, the zookeeper needs to learn and know lots about the animals that they're looking after so they can make sure they give them the best possible care.

So learning about all those animals, where they live, what food they can eat, all of those things are really important.

Scientists ask questions and try to find out the answers as part of their job.

They might do research or investigations to find the answers.

So we have a couple of more examples here.

A space scientist, a car design engineer, and a botanist.

So scientists have to ask lots of questions and sometimes when they do an investigation, they might not get the answer, but that's okay because they need to keep trying and maybe they can work with other people together and they can help each other.

Science is a job for everybody.

If you like asking questions and finding out about the world around you, then you might like to have a career in science.

For example here, we've got a child feeding animals.

Maybe in the future he'd like to do a job that involves animals or maybe you may like to have a job in the future exploring different leaves or even different plants.

So science is a job for everybody and everyone and anyone can be involved with science.

Let's do a check of our learning.

The children are talking about careers in science.

Aisha says, "Everybody can work in science." Laura says, "Only boys can work in science." And Lucas says, "Only very clever people can work in science." Who do you agree with, Aisha, Laura or Lucas? Have a think with your talk partner.

Who do you agree with? Fantastic discussion everybody.

Well done.

So Aisha is correct.

There are lots of different science jobs and science is a job for everybody.

It's not only boys that can work in science and you, it's not the only very clever people in science can work in that field.

Everybody is clever in their own way and everyone has lots of fantastic knowledge.

And even as adults, we can continue doing lots of learning.

So science has jobs for everybody.

Well done for having a good go at this question everyone.

So let's move on to the first task.

I would like you to draw a picture of a career involving science that you would like to do and then I would like you to explain how this career uses science.

So we've got a few examples here to help you get started.

So you may have thought of a space scientist if you really enjoy learning about space, a botanist, so botanists look at study plants or a volcanologist.

So pause the video here and draw a picture of a career involving science that you would like to do and then explain how the career uses science.

I'm really looking forward to seeing all of your wonderful pictures.

Off you go and have a fun time doing your drawings.

Fantastic work everybody.

Well done.

I can see that you've all worked really hard on drawing your pictures, but actually you've worked really hard to explain how the career uses science as well.

A big well done to everybody.

So let's look at an example.

So this child here has drawn a palaeontologist and we can see there that they've got a digger and they're going to be doing some digging.

And another child here has drawn a botanist and we can see there that this person here is thinking about some different plants.

Well done everyone for having a good go at this task.

So we've learned a little bit about different careers in science and we're now going to learn about special clothes that are worn for different jobs.

Now some people have to wear special clothes to do their jobs.

Why do you think this is? So we've got two pictures on the board here.

We've got a tree surgeon and we've got cyclists.

So why is it that some people have to wear special clothes to do their jobs? Have a think with your talk partner.

Fantastic work, everybody.

Well done.

Now we know that different jobs will involve doing different things.

So for example, the tree surgeons need to make sure they wear bright clothing so they can be seen far away, but also that they wear helmets and things to protect their heads and eyes because they're doing lots of dangerous work in their job.

Well done everyone.

Now some scientists investigate the properties of materials worn by people doing different jobs and they look at what clothing or protection a person needs to help them do their job safely.

This gardener needs gloves that will keep their hands clean and protected from any sharp plants.

So when you are working in the garden, it's really important that you have gloves to protect your hands so that you don't get hurt.

And some scientists have investigated the properties of materials to make sure these gloves are thick and strong, but also bendy enough for the gardener to move their fingers.

These people have different jobs, but their clothes are made from materials with the same properties.

Can you see which property that is? Or can you see something similar between what these two people are wearing? Pause the video here and have a look really closely and discuss your answers with your talk partner.

Off you go.

Amazing work everybody.

So these people need to be seen by other people while doing their jobs, so their clothes need to be bright and shiny.

So it's really important that, for example, the road sweeper so people know on the road that there is someone there and a solar panel installer.

So they're going to be high up on buildings.

So it's really important to keep them safe that we know that they're there.

And sometimes this is called a high vis jacket.

And sometimes going on school trips, you may be asked to wear a high vis by your adult because it's important when you know where you are and can spot you really easily.

Well done everyone.

Let's do a check of our learning so far.

True or false? People doing different jobs all need to wear the same clothes.

Do we think that's true or false? Have a little think on your own and then we'll go through the answer.

Super work everybody.

The answer is false.

So people doing different jobs do not need to wear the same clothes.

Do we think this because A, different clothes need to be made of different materials tested by scientists or B, people shouldn't look the same? What do we think is the correct answer? Well done everyone.

The answer is A.

I think this because different clothes need to be made of different materials tested by scientists.

Fantastic work everyone.

Well done.

So let's move on.

What properties does a firefighter's clothes need to help them to do their job safely? Now a firefighter's job is a very important job and it's really important that they have the right clothes.

So have a look at the pictures here.

We've got a picture of a firefighter in their uniform and we've got another picture, firefighters putting out a fire.

So what properties does a firefighter's clothes need to be in order to keep them safe? Can you tell me? Excellent job everybody.

Well done.

So a firefighter needs to wear clothes that are waterproof to protect them from water.

Now what properties does a surgeon's clothes need to help them to do their job? Now surgeons are also very, very important people and they do some really important things and they save people's lives.

So what properties does a surgeon's clothes need to be in order to help them do their job to keep themselves safe, but also to keep their patients safe as well? Have a think with your talk partner.

Amazing work, everybody.

Well done.

So a surgeon needs to wear waterproof clothes that keep them clean and dry.

Also stretchy clothes so they can move around easily.

Now surgeons often spend a long time in an operation, so it's really important they're able to move around in their clothes easily because they're going to be in those clothes for quite a long time.

Well done everyone.

Let's have a quick check of the learning that we've done so far in this section of the lesson.

So materials have different properties.

Which of these are properties of materials? A, rough and smooth, B, trousers and a coat or C, fabric and plastic.

So think back to the learning you've maybe done about materials before and have a think about different materials we've spoken about in our lesson today.

Which of these are properties of materials? Have a little think and we'll go through the answer really soon.

Fantastic work, everyone.

Well done.

The answer is A, rough and smooth.

So rough and smooth are both properties of materials.

Well done everyone.

Let's move on to the next question.

Which of these jobs needs special clothes to protect them? A head teacher, B, firefighter, C builder.

So think back to the learning that we've done in our lesson all about special clothes that some jobs need in order to keep them safe, in order to keep other people safe too.

So which of these jobs needs special clothes to protect them? Have a think.

Fantastic work, everybody.

Well done.

The answer is B, a firefighter and C, a builder.

Well done everyone.

I'm so impressed with your learning in today's lesson.

So let's now move on to the next task for today's lesson.

So I would like you to design clothes for a career of your choice.

What things do you have to do in this job and what properties of materials will you need to include in your design? For example, you might choose a racing driver or you may even choose an astronaut.

So here are some examples of properties of materials, waterproof or not waterproof, hard, soft, stretchy, stiff, shiny or dull, rough, smooth, bendy, not bendy, see through or not see through.

So design clothes for a career that you choose.

And I would like you to think about what things you have to do in this job and what properties of materials you will need to include in your design.

Have a go at the task.

I'm really looking forward to seeing your designs and we'll go through some example answers really soon.

Off you go, everyone.

Fantastic work, everybody.

I'm so impressed with all of your designs.

You've all worked really, really hard to design fantastic clothes for your career.

So let's go through an example now.

So one example, it might be that you have a soldier and this soldier has a hard helmet, waterproof, bendy gloves and hard knee pads.

So the soldier here needs to be protected, so it's really important that they have a helmet.

But also they may be in very wet weather, so it's important that they have waterproof clothing, but also that they can maybe go on their knees and have clothes that are bendy.

But also as they may be on their knees crawling, it's important they have hard kneecaps to protect their knees.

Another example is a firefighter and a firefighter will also need a hard helmet, bright, shiny clothes so they can be seen, waterproof clothes, but also a bendy fire hose to actually use to help put out the fire.

So maybe you chose a career similar to these, either a soldier or a firefighter, or maybe you chose another career.

Compare your work with your partner.

Did you do the same career or did you do a different one? But well done for having a go at this task.

I'm so impressed with all of your designs.

So we've now come to the end of our lesson.

So let's do a summary of our learning.

Working in science is a job for everybody, so anyone who wants to be involved in a job in science can definitely do it.

Some jobs need special clothes, including firefighters, fighter pilots and surgeons.

And scientists investigate the properties of materials worn by people to help them to do their jobs safely.

And materials can have properties including being waterproof, fireproof, or hard to cut.

So we've learned lots of different things about different careers and maybe you want to work in science when you are older.

I think everyone needs to give themselves a pat on the back for all of their work today.

You've worked so hard and given me so many ideas.

Have a great rest of the day everybody, and I'm sure I will see you really soon in the next science lesson.

Bye-Bye.
