BACK TO WORKSHEETS
When we think about materials we can describe the category or group that they are in, such as plastics.
We can also describe the material's properties.
This bell is made from metal. We can see that this metal bell is shiny.
The category of this material is metal.
The property is shiny.
Other properties of this metal bell are that it is hard, strong and heavy.
This car is made from wood. We can see that this wooden car is dull. Dull means not shiny.
The category of this material is wood.
The property is dull.
Other properties of this wooden car are that it is hard, strong and light in weight.
Are you ready to practise describing materials and their properties?
