About this worksheet
Pupils in Year 1 match five material words (wood, metal, plastic, glass and fabric) to pictures of a chair, a key and spoon, toy bricks, a drinking glass and a knitted jumper. Page 2 moves on to six property words, from transparent and opaque to flexible and rigid, which pupils match to their meanings by letter. The first one is done for them. A short writing task then asks pupils to pair one material with one property and say why it suits a real object. The sheet follows the Year 1 Everyday materials programme in the England National Curriculum, and the last page gives every answer.
