Y5 Material Properties and Light

Pupils investigate a range of materials and their material properties to see if they are opaque, translucent or transparent. They make their predictions before carrying out an investigation.

Learning Objectives:

  • PoS - 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
  • NaG - pupils should build a more systematic understanding of materials
  • WS - pupils could plan different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, including recognising and controlling variables where necessary
