Fascinating Fact:

Food from plants and animals (like fruit, milk, eggs) is natural, while crisps, sweets, and fizzy drinks are manmade foods.

In KS1 Science, children learn to sort things into natural and manmade. They explore how some products come straight from plants or animals, while others are made or mixed in factories.

Key Terms

Natural product: Something that comes directly from plants or animals, like apples, wool, or fresh milk.
Manmade product: Something people make or change, often in factories, such as plastic toys, crisps, or fizzy drinks.
Ingredient: A food or material that is mixed with others to make a new product, like sugar and flour in biscuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

Natural products come straight from plants or animals with little or no change. Manmade products are created or changed by people, often by mixing, heating, or shaping materials.

No. Some foods, like fruit, vegetables, eggs, and plain milk, are natural. Others, like crisps, sweets, and many snacks, are manmade because they contain added ingredients.

Why should KS1 children learn about natural and manmade materials?

Learning about natural and manmade materials helps children understand where things come from, make healthier choices, and think carefully about how products are made and used.
