Some opportunity for Working Scientifically During years 5 and 6, pupils should be taught to use the following practical scientific methods, processes and skills through the teaching of the programme of study content:

planning different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, including recognising and controlling variables where necessarytaking measurements, using a range of scientific equipment, with increasing accuracy and precision, taking repeat readings when appropriate

recording data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, classification keys, tables, scatter graphs, bar and line graphs

using test results to make predictions to set up further comparative and fair tests

reporting and presenting findings from enquiries, including conclusions, causal relationships and explanations of and degree of trust in results, in oral and written forms such as displays and other presentations

identifying scientific evidence that has been used to support or refute ideas or arguments.

Properties and changes of materials Y5 compare and group together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including their hardness, solubility,

transparency, conductivity (electrical and thermal), and response to magnets know that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and

evaporating give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials, including metals,

wood and plastic demonstrate that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes explain that some changes result in the formation of new materials, and that this kind of change is not usually reversible,

including changes associated with burning and the action of acid on bicarbonate of soda.

Magnets Y3 and Forces Y3 compare how things move on different surfaces (3) notice that some forces need contact between two objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance (3) observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others (3) compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify

some magnetic materials (3) describe magnets as having two poles (3) predict whether two magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing.(3)

States of matter Y4 compare and group materials together, according to whether they are solids, liquids or gases observe that some materials change state when they are heated or cooled, and measure or research the temperature at which

this happens in degrees Celsius (°C) identify the part played by evaporation and condensation in the water cycle and associate the rate of evaporation with temperature
