About this resource

What's inside this resource

Teaching science to our elementary students opens them up to a whole new world of interests, but with a whole new take! They get to learn about the weather and its changes. They get to learn about animals and their offspring. They get to learn about natural wonders, such as volcanoes! There are so many engaging things for students to learn during science.

What You Get:

This is a Natural or Manufactured Sorting Worksheet that is ideal for elementary students! The objective is to correctly differentiate between materials that are natural-made and materials that are manufactured.

How To Implement This Resource:

When students have gained a basic understanding of the difference in natural and manufactured materials, this will be a great activity to assess student mastery. This is a 1-page printable that consists of a graphic organizer for students to complete. There are 7 materials listed: wood, glass, concrete, grass, brick, sand, and paper. Students will take a walk around the school and see if they can find those types of materials. On their chart, students will make note of where they located this material and whether it is considered a natural or manufactured material.
