Objects vs Materials

Science · Matter & Materials · conceptual

Distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made, understanding that objects can be made from different materials

Sign in to track this

What mastery looks like

  • Explain the difference between an object (e.g. a chair) and the material it is made from (e.g. wood)
  • Give examples of the same object made from different materials (e.g. plastic cup, glass cup)
  • Identify what material a given object is made from by looking at and touching it

Check your understanding

If you hold up a wooden spoon and a metal spoon, can Objects vs Materials explain that both are spoons (the object) but made from different materials?

Prerequisites
