About this worksheet

Objects are made from materials, and the material decides how an object feels and what it can do. A child may call everything hard or soft without noticing that a window is hard and see-through, a sock is soft, and a key is hard and shiny. This worksheet shows real things children know, such as a log, a key, a sock, a window, and a feather, and asks which one is soft, hard, bouncy, see-through, or made of wood, metal, or cloth. The answers are pictures, so no word has to be read.

Support pages offer three very different objects. Challenge pages add a fourth object that makes the child think a little longer. These are everyday examples, not rules for every object; some spoons are wood and some are metal, and a cup can be glass or plastic. Ask your child to touch two things at home and tell you which one is softer, harder, or see-through, and how they know.

What your child will learn

  • Describe things as soft or hard
  • Know what see-through means
  • Name wood, metal, and cloth
  • Match an object with its material

NGSS standard: 2-PS1-1

Worked example

The question asks which one you can see through. A window lets light pass, so the window is the answer.

Common mistake

Choosing the object that looks interesting instead of thinking about what it feels like or what it is made of.

Helpful hint

Think about how the object feels when you touch it.
