What are they
made of?
The last column of this table is probably empty, do you know why?
6
Material AICLE: 6º de Primaria: Matter
2) Talk with your partner:
You can use these expressions:
- Why do you think you couldn’t complete the last column?
- I think that the last column is empty because all things I wrote…..
- In my opinion there is nothing in the last column because…..
- It was easier to complete the first table because……
3) Let’s investigate
Balls made up of different materials.
Which is the bounciest ball? Look at balls made from a variety of materials
and discuss the different uses and properties, including sizes. You can choose
which one you want to test.
What do you think ‘bounciest’ means? The one that bounces the highest or
the one that bounces for the longest time?
The possibilities and variables are numerous, so we need to make them more
specific. This is where we will learn to plan. We will also make a bar graph with
our results.

4) Let’s observe
Collect objects made from different materials.
(a ball, cup, glass, rubber glove, sea shell, wooden spoon, metal fork, plastic ruler, wool etc).
Pick them up and feel them.
Can you think of words to describe them?
Organize the objects into different groups depending on how you described them.
Now think of two more groups.
List all of your objects. Tick the words that best describe them. Can you think of some
words that are the opposite of what you put?

5) Let’s talk:
Think of one of the objects you have collected and describe it to a partner. He or she
must try to guess that object that are you thinking of:
It’s solid, very heavy, grey, a good electrical conductor, rigid...
Is it a block of iron?
6) Material properties: How to know if the material is……
- Absorbent: Does the material change when dipped in water?
- Elastic: Does the material stretch and then return to shape?
- Electrical Conductor: Does electricity flow through when the material is used to
complete a circuit?
- Thermal conductor: Does the material allow heat to go through it?
- Flexible: Does the material bend without breaking?
- Magnetic: Is metal attracted to the material?
- Hard: Can you scratch the surface of the material?
- Transparent: Can you see through the material?
- Strong: Can you break the material?
If the answer is ‘yes,’ it has that property; if the answer is ‘no,’ it has the opposite
property
- Waterproof: it doesn’t change when it comes into contact with water.
- Plastic: it does not return to shape
- Insulator: electricity doesn’t flow through it
- Thermal insulator: it doesn’t allow heat or cold to go through it
- Rigid: it breaks when you bend it
- Non- Magnetic: metal is not attracted to the material
- Soft: you can easily scratch the surface
- Opaque: you cannot see through the material
- Weak: it’s easy to break.

9) Invent a new and strange object made out of
odd materials. Talk about it with your partner.
Would you make a …. from..…?
10) Listen and read out loud
MATTER is anything that has weight and takesMatter is everything that
we can see, touch, taste and smell in our daily lives. You see matter everywhere you look.
The clouds are made up of matter (mostly water!), the Earth is made up of matter, your
notebook is made up of matter and so are you!
Matter can be broken into very little pieces. The smallest pieces of matter are called
molecules.
Matter has properties
Property is a characteristic that describes matter. Volume and density are properties
of matter.
Color, flexibility and shape are other characteristics of matter.
Volume is the amount of space that matter takes up.
12
Material AICLE: 6º de Primaria: Matter
Density is the property that describes how much matter is in a given space, or volume.
Properties describe matter. A block of wood, a rubber glove, milk and air all have properties.
All of the matter on Earth is in one of three states: solid, liquid or gas.
11) Listen and fill the blanks
A wood block is______. A solid has a certain ______ and ______. Solids are ______.
Wood blocks do not change size or shape. Other examples of solids are
the computers, desks and the floor. Water can be ______ too. You know that when we
freeze water it becomes ______ which is solid.
Can water be a ______ too? What should we do to transform liquid water into gas?
- Solids stay in one place and can be held.
- Solids keep their ______. They do not flow like ______.
- Solids always take up the ______ amount of space. They do not spread out like gases.
- Solids can be cut or shaped.
- Even though they can be poured, sugar, salt and flour are all solids. Each particle of
salt, for example, keeps the same shape and ______.
- Heating certain ______ will cause them to turn into liquids.
- Cooling certain ______ will cause them to turn into solids.
Examples of solids
Material AICLE: 6º de Primaria: Matter
13
12) Listen and complete the chart:
Milk is a liquid. It has size, or volume. Volume means it takes up space.
But milk doesn’t have a definite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
- Liquids can flow or be poured easily. They are not easy to hold.
- Liquids change their shape depending on the container they are in.
- Even when liquids change their shape, they always take up the same
amount of space. Their volume stays the same.
- Heating liquids will cause them to turn into a gas.
- Cooling liquids will cause them to turn into a solid.
- Heating solids will cause them to turn into a liquid.
- Cooling gases will cause them to turn into a liquid.
Examples of liquids:
Liquids
Yes
No
Flow
Can be poured
Change shape
Change volume
Heating them will cause them to turn into a solid
Cooling them will cause them to turn into a gas
Look and answer:
What shape does milk have when it’s in a glass? What shape does it
have when it’s in a bottle? in a brick?

Material AICLE: 6º de Primaria: Matter
13) Listen to the text and read it out loud
If you run very fast for one minute you will notice how hard you’re breathing.
What you’re breathing is air that contains oxygen. You need oxygen to live. That’s why you
can only hold your breath for a certain amount of time.
You can’t see oxygen. It’s invisible. It’s a gas. A gas is matter that has no shape or size of
its own. Gases have no color.
Gases are all around you. You can feel gas when the wind blows. The wind is moving air.
Air is many gases mixed together. Gas spreads very easily and quickly.
- Gases are often invisible.
- Gases do not keep their shape or always take up the same amount of space. They
spread out and change their shape and volume in order to fill up whatever container
they are in.
- Gases can be squashed.
- Heating liquids will cause them to turn into a gas.
- Cooling gasses will cause them to turn into a liquid.
Examples of gases
Material AICLE: 6º de Primaria: Matter

14) Listen and complete the text:
The atmosphere surrounds the Earth and protects us by blocking out dangerous rays from
the Sun. The atmosphere is a mixture of gases that becomes thinner until it gradually
reaches space. It is composed of Nitrogen (78%), Oxygen (21%), and other gases (1%).
Oxygen is essential to ________ because it allows us to breathe. Some of the oxygen
has changed over time and is now in the ozone. The ________ ________ filters out the
Sun’s harmful rays. Recently, there have been many studies on how humans have caused a
hole in the ozone layer.
Humans are also affecting Earth’s atmosphere through the greenhouse effect. Due to
increases in gases, like carbon dioxide, that trap heat from being radiated from the Earth,
scientists believe that the atmosphere is having trouble staying in balance, creating the
_______________ ________ .
The atmosphere is divided into five ________ depending on temperature and height.
Most of the ________ formations and ________ are found in the first layer.
