What’s included in the Year 5 Properties and Changes of Materials 5-Minute Science resource and why is it useful?

Year 5 Properties and Changes of Materials 5-Minute Science is a set of three revision worksheets covering the whole topic of properties and changes of materials. These have been designed to give your children up to three opportunities to engage in deliberate practice outside of the teaching of the topic. This resource covers comparing and grouping materials by hardness, solubility, transparency, conductivity and response to magnets, dissolving and recovering a substance from a solution, separating mixtures by filtering, sieving and evaporating, reasons for the uses of everyday materials, and reversible and irreversible changes.

How do our 5 Minute Science resources work?

As these resources are designed for re-cap and revision, you could use 5 Minute Science resources during the topic for early morning work, towards the end of the topic or even later in the year as a re-cap. The content across the three worksheets covers the national curriculum objectives for properties and changes of materials year 5 science.

Each unit in the science curriculum has been covered in the 5 Minute Science range.
