Below are a list of some resources for each area.
The title for each section links to a website called Primary Resources which is an excellent site for many areas of the UK National Curriculum. We have put in direct links to the correct area for you to be able to see what is there.
As a note for the primary resources site – Many of the activities/documents/resources will have a number by them indicating the year group they are for.
Finally, this is only the beginning for this. Teachers will be adding new content throughout the year.
Sc6/1.2 taking measurements, using a range of scientific equipment, with increasing accuracy and precision
Sc6/1.4 using test results to make predictions to set up further comparative and fair tests
Sc6/1.5 using simple models to describe scientific ideas
Sc6/1.6 reporting and presenting findings from enquiries, including conclusions, causal relationships and explanations of results, in oral and written forms such as displays and other presentations
Sc6/1.7 identifying scientific evidence that has been used to support or refute ideas or arguments.
Sc6/2.1 Living Things and their habitats Additional Resource
Sc6/2.1a describe how living things are classified into broad groups according to common observable characteristics and based on similarities and differences, including micro-organisms, plants and animals
Sc6/2.1b give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics.
Animals Plants
Sc6/2.2 Animals including humans Additional Resource
Sc6/2.3 Evolution additional resource
Sc6/2.3a recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago
Sc6/3.2b recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents
Sc6/2.3c identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution.
Adaptation, inheritance and evolution
Sc6/4.1 Light additional resource
Sc6/4.1a recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines
Sc6/4.1b use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye
Sc6/4.1c explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes
Sc6/4.1d use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them
Light and Dark
Sc6/4.2 Electricity additional resource
Sc6/4.2a associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit
Sc6/4.2b compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches
Sc6/4.2c use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram
