Items and objects around our school - Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to encourage students to observe and identify various materials that are commonly found within their school environment. The activity prompts learners to think about what items and objects are made of, fostering a sense of curiosity about the physical makeup of their immediate surroundings. The worksheet is structured in a tabular format with two main columns, each asking for the name of an item or object and the material from which it is constructed. This simple yet effective approach helps students to categorise and articulate their observations, enhancing their understanding of everyday materials.

By engaging with this worksheet, students are expected to look around their school and note down different items, such as furniture, educational tools, or architectural features, and then specify the materials they are made from. This could include wood, plastic, metal, glass, or fabric, among others. The exercise is not only a practical way to learn about materials but also serves as a foundation for discussions about properties of materials, their uses, and why certain materials are chosen for specific purposes within the school setting.
