Sort objects by material
Kindergarteners sort everyday objects by the material they are made from — wood, metal, plastic, or fabric — in this introductory Physical Science worksheet that builds foundational classification skills. Teachers and parents can use it during a materials unit to help the youngest learners notice and name what things are made of and to begin thinking about why material choice matters. Sorting by material is a key early science practice that connects directly to engineering and design concepts.
Learning objectives
- Sort objects into groups based on the material they are made from
- Identify and name common materials such as wood, metal, plastic, and fabric
- Explain one way in which the material an object is made from affects its use
