Plastic, Metal and Wood
Ms. Heidi brought in some musical instruments. They were made of different materials. The students sorted out the materials into 3 groups.
Next, the students cut, sorted and glued pictures into the different groups.
A group of students went on a hunt to look for items made out of the different materials.

The students then sorted out the photographs they had taken on their journey. They all looked for items in the classroom that were made out of the same materials and put them into the groups. They labelled their groups.
