Thermal/Electrical Conductors, Magnetic Properties Lessons

A variety of resources to cover the Year 5 Science objective: I can 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.

Three, practical investigations to cover ‘Working Scientifically’ objectives:

• Planning different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, including recognising and controlling variables where necessary;
• Taking measurements, using a range of scientific equipment, with increasing accuracy and precision, taking repeat readings when appropriate;
• Recording data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, classification keys, tables, scatter graphs, bar and line graphs;
• Reporting and presenting findings from enquiries, including conclusions, causal relationships and explanations of and degree of trust in results, in oral and written forms such as displays and other presentations;
• Identifying scientific evidence that has been used to support or refute ideas or arguments.
