This quiz addresses the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 Science for children aged 5 and 6 in years 1 and 2. Specifically this quiz is aimed at the section dealing with which materials are used for which jobs.

But you have to choose the best material for the job. Why choose that material and not a different one? Here are some questions for you to try. Which material will be best?
