Choose Suitable Materials to Make Everyday Objects

All around us the items we see and use everyday are made out of a type of material.

Materials all have properties. The properties guide us to what the material can be used for.

Look at the photo of a room

There are lots of materials in the photo that have been used differently based on their properties.

Wood has been used for the furniture as it is strong, hard wearing and easy to make into different shapes.

Fabric has been used for the curtains as it is flexible and light weight.

Wool has been used for the blanket as it is flexible, soft and keeps you warm. 

In this activity, there will be different materials.

All you have to do is decide what item they could be used to make from the list provided considering the material's properties.
