# SKP1: Object Materials and Attributes

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to describe objects in terms of the materials they are made of and their physical attributes.

- Subject: Science
- Appears in: Kindergarten, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/science/kindergarten.md

## Expectations

- **SKP1.a**: Ask questions to compare and sort objects made of different materials. (Common materials include clay, cloth, plastic, wood, paper, and metal.)
- **SKP1.b**: Use senses and science tools to classify common objects, such as buttons or swatches of cloth, according to their physical attributes (color, size, shape, weight, and texture).
- **SKP1.c**: Plan and carry out an investigation to predict and observe whether objects, based on their physical attributes, will sink or float.

## Georgia Milestones coverage
