Procedural Text Lesson and Worksheet | PDF | Toothbrush | Milkshake - Free Printable

The image you've uploaded is a worksheet designed to help students identify the structural and language features of procedural texts (also known as instructional or how-to texts). It includes two completed examples — one for making a chocolate milkshake and another for brushing teeth — and asks students to complete a third procedural text about making "fluffy slime."

Let’s solve the missing parts of the "Fluffy slime" section based on the structure of the other two examples.

🔍 Step-by-step Analysis of Procedural Text Structure

Procedural texts typically include:

1. Title – Tells what the procedure is about.
2. Introduction/Heading – Often starts with "You will need:" or "What you need."
3. List of materials – The items required.
4. Steps – Numbered instructions in chronological order.
5. Test/Check – A way to verify if the procedure was successful.

✔ Now, let's fill in the blanks for "Fluffy slime":

#### 1. Title:
> Make fluffy slime

This is already provided at the top.

---

#### 2. Introduction / Materials Section:
> You will need:
- ½ cup glue
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 drops food colouring
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup shaving cream
- 2 tablespoons contact solution
- 1 Zip lock bag

*(Note: This list is already given. We just need to label it properly.)*

So, we write:
> You will need:
> *(then list all ingredients as shown)*

---

#### 3. Steps:
> Steps:
1. Pour glue into bowl.
2. Add water, food colouring, baking soda, shaving cream and contact solution to the bowl.
3. Mix ingredients thoroughly.
4. Play with the slime and then store it in a zip lock bag.

These steps are already written. So we just need to label them correctly.

---

#### 4. Test / Check:
At the bottom, there's a line that says:
> Check if the instructions were followed to make some good fluffy slime.

We can improve this slightly to match the style of the other examples.

In the other two examples:
- Milkshake: *"Check if the instructions were followed and the milkshake tasted good."*
- Teeth brushing: *"Check if the instructions were followed and if teeth are cleaned well."*

So, following the same pattern:

> Test:
> Check if the instructions were followed and if the slime is soft, stretchy, and fun to play with.

Or more simply:
> Test:
> Check if the instructions were followed and if the slime is fluffy and gooey.

✔ Final Completed "Fluffy Slime" Section:

```
Make fluffy slime.

You will need:
• ½ cup glue
• 2 tablespoons water
• 4 drops food colouring
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ cup shaving cream
• 2 tablespoons contact solution
• 1 Zip lock bag

Steps:
1. Pour glue into bowl.
2. Add water, food colouring, baking soda, shaving cream and contact solution to the bowl.
3. Mix ingredients thoroughly.
4. Play with the slime and then store it in a zip lock bag.

Test:
Check if the instructions were followed and if the slime is fluffy and gooey.
```

📌 Explanation of Why This Works:

- Structure: Matches the format of the two example procedures — clear title, materials, numbered steps, and a test.
- Language Features:
- Uses imperative verbs: *Pour, Add, Mix, Play, Store*.
- Clear sequence: Steps are numbered and follow logical order.
- Simple, direct language suitable for children.
- Includes a practical test to evaluate success.

This exercise helps students recognize that procedural texts have consistent structures and use specific language to guide readers through tasks.

✔ Answer Summary:
You’ve now completed the "Fluffy slime" procedural text by adding:
- The heading "You will need:"
- The heading "Steps:"
- And a test sentence: *"Check if the instructions were followed and if the slime is fluffy and gooey."*

This mirrors the structure and language of the other two examples perfectly.
