You can recycle materials.
This is good for the environment.

The children put similar materials together in a group.
What groups would you make?
You will need: a set of different - materials
Use a question to put the materials into groups. For example: Is it metal?
Pick the materials up and feel them.
Now use the properties of materials to sort them into groups. For example:
Is the material warm? Is it shiny?
Share your groups with the class.

You will need: a set of different – materials
What other properties do your materials have?
Think about a simple test that you could use to find out.
Is it flexible? Is it strong? Is it bouncy? Is it see-through?
Use what you find out to make new groups.
Can you think of other tests?
