                                                           MATERIALS





                                                What are materials?

                                                Materials  are  things  or  resources  out
                                                of  which  something  can  be  made.
                                                There  are  two  types  of  materials
                                                Natural and Man-Made materials.






                                              Man-Made Materials
               Natural Materials                                                Natural  Materials  processed
                                              Materials which are made
               Materials  which  we  get      by us are known as Man-           by man
               from  nature  are  known       Made Materials.                   Some  natural  resources  can't
               as Natural Materials.                                            be directly used. They need to
                                              They  are  not  available
               For  example-  water,          directly  in  nature  but  are    go  under  some  process  to
               sand,  clay,  wood,  stone     made  by  humans  using           make  it  fit  for  human  use.
               etc.                           some  of  the  natural            Human  being  uses  some
                                              materials.  For  example-         natural    materials    and
                                                                                processes  it  .Like  sand  to
                                              paper is made from wood.
                                                                                make glass, clay to make tiles.






               Sand and Clay
               Sand  is  grainy  and  does  not  bind
               properly with water . And when put to
               dry, the water evaporates and the sand
               again becomes free flowing.
               Clay can by easily moulded and we can
               make  different  things  from  it.  The
               things made with clay become hard and

               strong when dried.
