The document provides instructions for creating a science center activity where students sort objects into categories of wood, glass, plastic, or metal. Students would draw the objects in their science journal. The activity involves laminating classification signs, displaying them in picture frames of different materials, and using a plastic tub filled with assorted objects for students to sort.

2. Print page 1 on cardstock and laminate. If you’re able, consider finding 4 picture frames (5x7) and insert these signs into them. One frame from metal, one of wood, glass, plastic. It makes for a nice science center. I have a tub (those plastic shoe box tubs) filled with a variety of objects that fall into one of these categories. Then have students draw one of more objects for each group in their science journal.
