About this illustration

This image displays seven distinct cards, each illustrating a different common material with a representative 3D object and its name. The materials shown are wood (represented by a wooden cube), metal (a metallic cube), plastic (a blue Lego brick), glass (a clear glass cube), fabric (a folded blue cloth), rubber (a black tire), and paper (a stack of white sheets). This visual resource is ideal for teaching students about different types of materials, their properties, and common objects made from them in elementary science. It can be used effectively on slides for presentations, as part of a worksheet for identification or sorting exercises, or for classroom discussions on material science. The visual style is a clean, modern illustration featuring realistically rendered objects on simple, rounded rectangular backings with clear text labels.
