Material Sorting Activity
Students will use their observation skills to identify the materials various objects are made from.
This forms part of the Foundation Chemical Sciences Unit - Materials and the Year 1 Chemical Sciences Unit - Changing Materials.

Learning goals
- We are learning to understand that objects can be made of different materials which have observable properties, such as colour, texture and stretch.
- We are learning to understand that different materials can be combined for a particular purpose.
- We are learning to understand that everyday materials can be physically changed in a variety of ways.

recognise that objects can be composed of different materials and describe the observable properties of those materials
AC9S2U03
9
Recognise that materials can be changed physically without changing their material composition and explore the effect of different actions on materials including bending, twisting, stretching and breaking into smaller pieces
