Everything around us is made of materials. These materials can be either natural, meaning they come from the Earth, or man-made (also called synthetic), meaning they are created by people. Natural materials include things like wood, cotton, and stone. Man-made materials include things like plastic, paper, and glass. Understanding the difference helps us appreciate where things come from and how they're made!
