Use technology to collect, organise and classify objects based on their properties.
Second unit in the data handling unit
Discuss the properties of objects and how we can sort them. The sorts can be captured as videos and images – go find yellow objects, objects made of plastic, etc. We can use technology to physically sort objects. Children could take images of objects and then drop them into an app like Pic Collage and sort them based on a criteria or use a template to represent several groups. If the internet settings are configured appropriately you can search for images within Pic Collage itself to group and sort.
To teach sorting on different criteria you could use furbles this can be used to create a variety of furbles with different characteristics that can be then sorted the sorts can be represented as simple groups or pictogram or bar graph.
