Classify properties of materials
Properties of materials are classified and sorted in this Grade 3 Physical Science worksheet, where students examine matter and materials through characteristics such as color, hardness, flexibility, and conductivity. Teachers can use it within a matter and materials unit to bridge everyday observation with scientific categorization, reinforcing the idea that properties determine how a material is used. Developing classification skills at this level prepares students for more nuanced chemistry and materials science later.
Learning objectives
- Identify observable and measurable properties of common materials
- Classify materials into categories based on their physical properties
- Connect a material's properties to appropriate real-world uses
