## Activity 6.1: Let us identify

### Question 1

*Activity*

Make a list of objects you see around and also write the names of the materials they are made up of in Table 6.1.

**Solution**

1. Observe various common objects present in the classroom or surroundings, such as a desk, a notebook, a pen, a water bottle, and a blackboard.
2. Identify the primary substance used to create each object.
3. List the objects along with their corresponding materials in Table 6.1, recognizing that objects can be made from materials like wood, paper, plastic, metal, and glass.

**Answer:** A compiled list of common objects and the materials they are made up of, such as a notebook made of paper, a pen made of plastic and metal, and a desk made of wood.

> Common mistake: Confusing the object itself with the material it is made of, such as writing 'chair' as the material instead of 'wood' or 'iron'.
