Ways You Can Use These Printable Pictures of Materials in the Classroom

These Printable Pictures of Materials can be used in countless ways, including:

• Material sorting activities – Students sort cards into groups based on the material they’re made from.
• Classifying by property – Sort objects by flexible, rigid, waterproof, absorbent, etc.
• Material Four Corners – Give each student a card. Call out a material. Students with that material run to the correct “zone” in the room.
• Odd One Out Circles – Place three cards in a circle. Students decide which one doesn’t belong and explain why. You can make it tricky by choosing objects with mixed materials.
• Classroom Display: “What Is Our Room Made Of?” – Students match cards to objects in the classroom and create a labelled display showing the materials around them. Combine the cards with our Material World Classroom display for maximum effectiveness.
