Material Manipulation Worksheets is an engaging and hands-on resource that will challenge your students to complete a range of manipulations using different materials.

With four worksheets included for paper, foil, plastic and wool students will need to determine how manipulations are possible, complete the manipulation and then paste it on the page. Once complete, students will be left with a display of work that is sure to initiate a conversation or two.

This activity could be completed and sent home for students to discuss material manipulations with their families, or it could be levelled up and displayed. Printing the worksheet on coloured card, using coloured paper or wool are all potential options to make this already engaging worksheet a showstopper.

Material Manipulation Worksheets is a low-preparation activity with many of the required materials likely to be readily available in most school settings. To complete Material Manipulation students will need the following:

1. Worksheet 1: paper, scissors and glue.
2. Worksheet 2: aluminium foil, scissors and glue.
3. Worksheet 3: cling wrap, scissors and glue.
4. Worksheet 4: wool, scissors and glue.

It’s time to complete some material manipulation.
