Help children develop their understanding of everyday materials with this engaging Materials Sorting Activity. Pupils identify and sort different objects into material categories including metal, plastic, glass, wood, cardboard, and rock, helping them build key scientific vocabulary and classification skills. The resource includes sorting cards and a simple sorting mat, making it ideal for hands-on learning and independent science activities.

Perfect for supporting the KS1 science objective of identifying and naming a variety of everyday materials and recognising the materials from which objects are made.
