Everyday Materials - Answers

In a Year One science worksheet focused on everyday materials, students are tasked with a variety of questions aimed at enhancing their understanding of the properties and uses of different materials. The first question requires them to match various objects to the materials they are made from, such as fabric, metal, glass, and cardboard. The second question tests their knowledge of transparency by asking them to identify a transparent object from a selection provided.

The worksheet continues with a true or false section where pupils read statements about materials and decide on their veracity. For example, they consider whether all metals are hard or if rubber bands are stretchy. Further questions ask them to choose the best material for making certain objects, such as a shirt or a window, and to identify which materials are derived from wood. Additionally, children complete sentences to demonstrate their understanding of material properties, like why plastic would be chosen for a raincoat. They also match properties to their meanings, such as 'opaque' meaning not allowing light to pass through, and link objects made from the same materials. The exercise is designed to be interactive and educational, helping students to comprehend the characteristics of materials they encounter in daily life.
