Year 4 Chemistry
Packaging pioneers – Students learn about the properties of natural and man-made materials including fibres, metals, glass and plastics. They explore how to test materials for different properties, and examine real-life applications by designing packaging suitable to store and transport food, justifying why each material has been chosen.
Year 5 Earth and Space Sciences
Wear on Earth – Students learn about changes to the Earth’s surface caused by weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition occurring over varying time scales. They design, and potentially test, an erosion control strategy for an area of need in their school/local environment.
Year 6 Earth and Space Sciences
Space innovators – Students use scientific models to explore phenomena on Earth involving the relative position of the Sun and Moon, such as day and night, variable day length and the phases of the Moon. They explore the wider solar system and consider the scientific and technological innovations that have enabled humans to study space.
Did you know the resources offer you far more than just teaching sequences for your classroom? Embedded throughout the teaching sequences, as well as under specific tabs, you’ll find a whole range of professional learning to support you develop your practice.
Check out the Pedagogical toolbox – providing you with a range of tools to encourage students to form a deep connection with the science content, to learn in a community, and to build their inquiry skills.
