Classify synthetic materials
Middle school students investigate and classify synthetic materials produced through chemical reactions, exploring how human-made substances differ from natural ones in origin and properties. Teachers can use this hard-level worksheet to extend a unit on chemical reactions by asking students to think about real-world applications such as plastics, nylon, and pharmaceuticals. It connects Physical Science content to technology and society.
