Natural materials come from living things or the ground and include cotton, wood, feathers, wool, leather, slate and crude oil. Manufactured materials are made by people by transforming natural materials through processes like cutting down trees to make paper, shearing sheep to make fabric from wool, and refining crude oil to make plastic. These materials are then used to create various products.
