Materials Around Us Tables

Class VI Science: Materials Around Us Tables

Table 6.1: Identify Materials

I Observe	Materials They Are Made Up Of
Table	Wood
Water Bottle	Plastic
Window	Glass
Pen	Plastic and Metal
Notebook	Paper

This table (page 2) is from Activity 6.1, where students list objects around them and their materials. The objects (table, water bottle, window, pen, notebook) are common in a classroom, with materials based on everyday observations (page 2).

Table 6.2: Bouncing Level of the Balls

Ball	Bounce (High, Medium, Low)
Tennis Ball	High
Cricket Ball	Medium
Hand Exercise Ball	Low
Rubber Ball	High

This table (page 5) is from Activity 6.4, where students drop balls and record bounce height (Fig. 6.3). Tennis and rubber balls bounce high due to elasticity, cricket balls medium due to harder material, and hand exercise balls low due to denser composition (page 5).

Table 6.3: Hard or Soft Objects and the Materials They Are Made Up Of

Object	Hard/Soft	Material(s)
Brick	Hard	Baked Clay
Water Bottle	Hard	Plastic
Pillow	Soft	Cotton or Foam
Tumbler	Hard	Glass or Plastic
Table	Hard	Wood
Sweater	Soft	Wool or Cotton
Eraser	Soft	Rubber

This table (page 8) is from Activity 6.5, where students feel objects to determine hardness/softness and identify materials. Brick is listed as hard and baked clay (page 8). Others (water bottle, pillow, tumbler, table, sweater, eraser) are completed based on typical properties and materials (pages 7–8).

Table 6.4: Classification of Objects

Transparent	Translucent	Opaque
Glass Window	Frosted Glass	Wooden Door
Water	Butter Paper	Cardboard
Cellophane Paper		Metal Sheet

This table (page 10) classifies objects by transparency, based on Fig. 6.5 and definitions (page 9). Glass window and water are transparent, frosted glass and butter paper are translucent, wooden door and cardboard are opaque (pages 8–9). Additional examples (cellophane paper, metal sheet) align with definitions.

Table 6.5: Mixing Different Materials in Water

Material	Prediction	Observation
Sugar	Will disappear in water	Disappears in water
Salt	Will disappear in water	Disappears in water
Chalk Powder	Will not disappear in water	Does not disappear in water
Sand	Will not disappear in water	Does not disappear in water
Sawdust	Will not disappear in water	Does not disappear in water
Glucose	Will disappear in water	Disappears in water

This table (page 11) is from Activity 6.7, testing solubility in water (Fig. 6.6). Sugar and salt dissolve (page 10), while chalk powder, sand, and sawdust do not (page 11). Glucose, a soluble sugar, is added as an extra material, with predictions matching observations (page 11).
