This book takes an active approach to finding out about the properties and uses of wood. It is one of a series which encourages children to ask questions about what different materials are like, formulate ideas about how a material might behave, for example when water is dropped onto it and test out these ideas. Colour photographs show children experimenting with materials and speech bubbles convey their interaction with each other. The content backs up the scheme of work for science at Key Stage 1. A double page spread of notes for parents and teachers includes information about the scientific principles covered as well as suggestions for further activities.

It is used to make lots of different things. Look at all these wooden objects we’ve collected. This pepper grinder feels hard and smooth. 3 This wooden box is very rough. 4 These logs are heavy. The bark on the outside feels rough. Can you see the ring pattern in the wood? 5 These twigs are dry and brittle. This twig is light and springy. I can bend it easily. I can snap them in two! 6 These wooden objects come from different types of tree. Look at all the colours! 7 We’re arranging the objects from the lightest to the darkest. There‛s a pattern in the wood. 8 My toy duck has been carved out of wood. The wood has been sanded to make it smooth. It feels warm.
