Materials
Activity 1: “Which Materials Absorb Water and Which Do Not?”

Objectives:
Describe materials based on the ability to absorb water.
Classify materials based on the ability to absorb water.

What you need:

paper, rug, face mask, cotton, sponge, plastic

Tissue paper, tap water, tray,
What to do:

1. The whole group will listen to the instruction given by the teacher.
2. Put the materials one by one in a basin. Observe its characteristics and
write them on the chart below.
3. Lift up the materials and squeeze. Let the water drip down on the basin.
Did the water come out did the material get wet? Is the material heavier
when wet?
4. Record the observation in the chart.
5. Do the same for each material.
