Classify objects by material
Kindergarteners sort everyday objects by the material they are made from — wood, metal, plastic, fabric, and more — in this Physical Science worksheet, developing observation skills and the foundational language of materials science. Teachers and parents can use it as a hands-on companion to a material exploration activity, or as a structured sorting exercise that builds the vocabulary children need to describe the physical world around them. Classifying objects by material helps young learners notice properties and begin thinking like scientists.
Learning objectives
- Identify common materials such as wood, metal, plastic, and fabric
- Sort objects into groups based on the material they are made from
