Y5 Changing Materials by Burning

Pupils learn about materials and burning and how burning creates new materials, some of which can be toxic and extremely dangerous to animals and humans.

  • PoS - 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
  • NaG - pupils should explore changes that are difficult to reverse, such as burning
  • WS - pupils could observe and compare the changes that take place, for example when burning different materials
