On Saturday, Hana and her grandpa played a fun game at home. "Pick a thing and tell me what it is made of," said Grandpa. "The stuff a thing is made of is called its material."
Hana pointed at her desk first. "This desk is made of wood, and wood comes from trees," she said. Next, she held up a spoon that was hard and shiny. "This spoon is made of metal," said Grandpa.
Then Hana looked out the window. She could see the flowers in the garden through the glass. Glass is clear, but it can break, so we must not drop it.
Hana found a toy car made of plastic. Plastic is light, and it can be made in many shapes and colors. Next, she made a small boat with a sheet of paper. Paper is thin, so it is easy to fold.
Last, Grandpa gave Hana a rubber ball. Rubber can bend and stretch, and then it goes back to its shape. "Each thing is made of the best stuff for its job," said Hana.
