Identify Materials Used to Make Similar Objects

All around us in our homes and schools are everyday objects. They are made of different things which we call different materials.

Here are some categories that materials can be grouped in:  fabric   wood   ceramic   plastic   rubber  paper   brick    rock   glass    metal    leather 

Sometimes, the same objects can be made from different materials.
