Identify material properties
This Grade 1 Physical Science worksheet helps young learners identify the properties of everyday materials — including hardness, flexibility, texture, and whether they absorb or repel water — building the observation vocabulary that underpins early materials science. Teachers and parents can use it as a hands-on companion to a classroom materials investigation or as a structured note-taking activity to consolidate vocabulary after a tactile exploration. Identifying material properties is a foundational skill for understanding why different materials are used for different purposes.
Learning objectives
- Identify and name observable properties of common materials
- Use descriptive vocabulary to compare material properties
