Are your students learning about the different properties of materials? You need our Sorting Materials activity! Sorting Materials is a hands-on task that challenges students to identify and sort objects based on the properties of the material they are made from.

Created to coincide with the Foundation Chemical Sciences Australian Curriculum, this activity will provide students with the opportunity to identify different observable properties of materials.

Players will fill their board as they identify the property of each material. To do this, students will select a card from the pile and verbally state the property of the material on the card and sort it onto their mat in the relevant section.

This resource includes high and low colour options. Printing the templates on thick card is recommended for longevity. The game cards must be cut out before playing.

This resource is a part of our Chemical Sciences Foundation UNIT PLAN.
