Classify & Colour Materials is an engaging worksheet that will challenge your students to consider categories that items belong to according to the predominant material they are made from. Students will be required to use different colours to colour items. If your students are investigating materials, this activity is a fantastic opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge.

Students will be required to classify images that are made from the following materials:

1. Glass
2. Metal
3. Wood
4. Paper
5. Plastic

This resource includes two versions to suit the needs of your students:

This resource is low preparation, simply print it and teach it. Simple by design, but versatile in its application Classify & Colour Materials could be used during a lesson, a rotation, as evidence for assessment, a morning activity or stored in a relief folder. Answer pages are also included to make teacher or student-led correction a breeze.
