This ready-to-use worksheet is designed to meet ASDAN PDP 9A3 – Compare Synthetic and Natural Materials. Students carry out a simple investigation comparing the properties of four common materials (two synthetic, two natural) using easy, low-cost resources found in schools (e.g., cotton, wood, plastic, nylon).
The worksheet includes:
Prediction and observation tables for hands-on testing (strength, absorbency, flexibility, appearance).
Guided analysis questions to encourage comparison of natural vs. synthetic materials.
ASDAN reflection questions to support skills development and self-assessment.
A short conclusion activity to summarise learning.
