About this resource

This is a Materials and Properties Worksheet Set that was designed for your primary students who learned about, or are being introduced to types of properties. This is great for Year 3 – Year 5 students.

What You Get:

You will receive 2 different PDFs in this zip file.

1. Describing Materials Graphic Organiser

2. Vocabulary to sort page

How To Implement the Materials and Properties Worksheet Set:

You will print enough copies of each page for your entire class. If you wish to make this a reusable activity, you can print off a handful of copies and laminate them. You can attach Velcro dots to the vocabulary words. This will make a great science centre or small group activity.

Students will focus on 3 property types:

-- How something looks

-- How something feels

-- How something behaves

There are 24 vocabulary words that need to be cut out. Students will read each vocabulary word and determine what property is being described.
