Practise the selected skills below. Each pack explains what it covers and what to try next.

• Look, sort and test materials

  Distinguish an object from its material, record observed properties, group real samples and use a small absorption test to explain a material choice. A small selection of materials and properties, not the full Year 1 materials curriculum. No material-origin or seasonal activity is claimed. Bending depends on the sample and shape. The water task explores absorption; it does not prove waterproofness.

• Objects, materials and where they come from

  Distinguish objects from materials, follow simplified source chains, compare made and naturally occurring examples, and explain a material choice. Partial activity-backed practice; appearance alone cannot identify coatings or composites, and source chains do not prove a complete manufacturing history.

• Compare material properties and choose a use

  Compare the printed samples by texture, flexibility and light transmission, then choose a material for a stated use. Partial activity-backed practice with safe adult-led observations; no universal material-property, product-safety or whole-topic mastery claim.
