RAW MATERIALSubstance that is extracted directly
from natural objects.
PROCESSED MATERIALRaw material that is transformed
and ready to use for manufacturing an object.
MANUFACTURED GOODIt is any object created by humans
to satisfy a need and make their lives easier.
It’s created inFACTORIES.
REVIEW ACTIVITY:PLACEMAT CONSENSUS1- INDIVIDUAL TASK TIME: 3 minCopy this chart and place each element in the corresponding
column:
Iron ore – Jumper – Table - Wood board – Copper tube – Plate – Plastic - Sand – Paper roll– Sheep’s hair– Petrol – Cotton flower - Pen – Tree trunk
2- COOPERATIVE TASK TIME: 3 minDiscuss with your partners and agree to one correct solution.
Write your consensus on the other side of the paper.

2. THE ORIGINS OF MATERIALSORGANIC ORIGIN• Materials that come from plants or animals.• Ex: Wood, linen, cotton, wool, cork, leather, bees wax…
SYNTHETIC ORIGIN• Materials that come from oil.• Ex: Gasoil, petrol, asphalt, paraffin, plastic, PVC, polyester, lycra,,,
MINERAL ORIGIN• Materials that come from rocks.• Ex: Marble, glass, granite, slate, clay, porcelain, chalk, talc, cement, gravel…
METALLIC ORIGIN• Materials that come from metallic minerals.• Ex: Copper, aluminium, steel, iron, bronze, gold, silver, titanium…
REVIEW ACTIVITY:PLACEMAT CONSENSUS1- INDIVIDUAL TASK TIME: 3 minCopy this chart and place each element in the corresponding
column:
Bronze – Nylon – Leather – Porcelain – Aluminium – Paper – Glass – Marble – Silicone – Wool – Steel – PVC – Wood – Clay – Cotton – Polyester – Bees wax – Petrol (gasoline)
2- COOPERATIVE TASK TIME: 3 minDiscuss with your partners and agree to one correct solution.
Write your consensus on the other side of the paper.

3. RENEWABLE vs. NON-RENEWABLE
Materials that come from a resource that is regenerated fastly.
As we waste the resource, we (or nature) can produce more.
Materials that come from a resource that isn’t regenerated fastly.
We waste more resources than we (or nature) can replace.
REVIEW ACTIVITY:THE LIST1- INDIVIDUAL TASK TIME: 3 minCopy this chart and write as many materials as you can think of
in each of the columns:
When the time’s up, draw a line under your last materials.
2- COOPERATIVE TASK TIME: 2 minHave a look at your partners’ lists and check if they wrote
anything you didn’t. Add their ideas under your line.

5. PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS: INTRODUCTION
WHAT IF…
…UMBRELLAS WERE MADE
OF LACE FABRIC?
WHAT IF…
…IT RAINED ON THESE NICE PAPER SHOES?
WHAT IF…
…KEYS WERE MADE OF GLASS?
ACTIVATION ACTIVITY1- INDIVIDUAL TASK HOMEWORKAnswer to the 4 questions we just saw in the presentation:
What if…?
For example: What if cables were made of paper?If cables were made of paper, paper would burn with the electricity and the cables would not work.
What if chairs were made of ice?If chairs were made of ice, they would be very cold and nobody would sit on them.
