Substrand: "1.3 Sorting Materials" (24 periods)

We use many different materials every day. Some of these are natural materials, e.g. wood, rocks or clay. Others are man-made or processed materials, e.g. plastics and nylon. Materials can be sorted using their physical properties such as shape, colour, size and texture. Some of the physical properties of materials can change when they are heated, squashed or squeezed, e.g. shape or size.
