Year 6 Science

In this lesson, we will look at the impact of humans on the environment, We will interpret some data to make recommendations about how people should choose to travel.

In this lesson, we will learn about the impact of human activity such as burning fossil fuels on the global temperature. We will also interpret some data to draw conclusions.

In this lesson, we will learn about fuels and how they release energy in combustion reactions. We will also use word equations to describe these reactions.

In this lesson, we will look at the sustainability of items based on their life cycle assessment and evaluate the use of reusable coffee cups over disposable ones.

In this lesson, we will learn about sustainability and what we can do to live more sustainably. We will investigate which common items in our households can and cannot be recycled.

In this lesson, we will learn about natural and synthetic materials. We will then investigate the properties and uses of three synthetic materials: glass, ceramics and plastics.

In this lesson, we will learn about combustion reactions. We will learn what a fuel is and what happens when a fuel combusts. We will practise writing combustion equations and interpret the results from an experiment on combustion.

In this lesson, we will learn about the difference between physical changes and chemical reactions. We will learn about the particles in both of these types of change and the signs to look out for in a chemical reaction. You will need a pencil, a ruler and a piece of paper for this lesson. If you have baking soda and vinegar then you will need that for an investigation too, but don't worry you can still take part without these things.

In this lesson, we will look at three different methods for separating mixtures: sieving, filtration and evaporation. We will learn when to use each one and plan our own experiment. You will need a pencil and a piece of paper for this lesson.

In this lesson, we will learn what happens to particles during dissolving. We will investigate what happens when we mix water with salt, sugar and sand. For this lesson you will need a pencil and a piece of paper. If you would like to take part in the practical you will also need a glass of water and some sugar and salt. If you do not have these things then you can still take part in the lesson by watching the teacher's demonstration.
