Kindergarten What Things Are Made Of Worksheet

About this worksheet

Objects are made from materials whose properties affect how well the objects work. A child may choose metal for every job because it feels strong, without considering whether the job needs softness, flexibility, transparency, or resistance to water. This worksheet uses simple picture test rows rather than decorative pictures. Each row records an observation such as how much water a sample absorbed, how far it bent, or how much light passed through it. Children read the evidence, name the property, and choose a sensible use for the material. Support pages show large contrasts between three familiar materials. Challenge pages ask the same reasoning with less obvious values or a purpose stated before the property. These are classroom model results, not universal rankings for every kind of plastic, wood, or glass. Focus on the tested sample. Ask, ‘What does the test row show this material can do?’ before deciding whether it fits a rain cover, towel, window, handle, or stretchy band.
