A Grade 1 science slideshow exploring what things are made of and why they are useful. Covers materials, objects and structures alongside properties, uses and design choices.

Make materials and structures easy to explore with this colourful Kite & Bloom science resource! Students investigate everyday materials, objects and structures, material properties, why certain materials are chosen, and how structures help us in daily life through Think-Pair-Share prompts, prediction activities, visual examples, and a final hands-on review task.
Designed to lead your lessons or supplement your daily science routine, it’s perfect for whole-class instruction, centres, review, and introducing an Ontario Structures & Mechanisms unit.
