This is the Experience and Outcome we will be working on for a little while.
\nSCN 1-15a
\nThrough exploring properties and sources of materials, I can choose appropriate materials to solve practical challenges.<\/p>\n
By the end of this topic we should be able to explain the following.
\nKnow that natural materials come from the Earth.
\nUnderstand that artificial (synthetic) materials are man-made
\nBe able to identify and classify a number of common materials as either natural or artificial.<\/p>\n
\u2b50(Teaching Point)\u2b50
\nNatural materials, also known as raw materials, are those that come from the Earth. These include air, water, living things (plants and animals), rocks, some metals and fossil fuels. Some natural materials are used by humans in their original form, whereas some are treated, processed and manufactured to change how they look.
\nArtificial, or synthetic, materials are man-made by mixing or reacting natural materials to change their properties.<\/p>\n

\nI would like you to follow the link bellow and create a colourful mind map of all the artificial materials you can see around your house and a second mind map of all the natural materials you can see around your home.<\/p>\n
