The lesson
You know that objects are different from materials. Now let's learn six material names. Wood, plastic, glass, metal, water, and rock.
A window is made of glass. Light passes through glass, so you can see outside.
A pencil is not just wood. Its eraser band is metal. Two materials make one pencil.
Look and touch to guess a material. Metal feels cold. Wood feels a little rough. Glass is easy to see through.
Six materials: wood, plastic, glass, metal, water, rock. Some objects mix two materials together.
