Community Health 3 of 3 Teaching Steps 1.
Students identify materials found in everyday objects.
Ask each student to bring in a favorite item from home, such as a basketball, a skateboard, book, toy, game, etc. Give students a few minutes to write down as many of the materials that went into manufacturing the objects they brought as they can. A football, for example, would be leather, rubber, etc. Then ask students to explain to the class what materials went into the making of the item. Write responses on the board.
