Focus: Natural and Man-made materials
Last week we explored what a material is, now we are going to think about different materials, if they are natural or manmade and describe their properties.
The materials I found at home are a mix of manmade and natural things. When I describe them I am describing their properties, what they look like,how they feel
Watch this video about natural and man-made things.
Then in your learning journal on a new page make a list of natural objects and man-made things in the video and some from around your home, draw some pictures also. Don’t forget to put the day and date on your page too.
