6 free physical sciences resources for Year 6: 6 worksheets. Answers included.
Forces, motion, energy, light, sound and electricity. Year 6 consolidates primary maths: operations with fractions and decimals, percentages, integers, order of operations and probability.
Students will practise: explaining why a circuit must be complete; describing how a switch works; classifying materials as conductors or insulators; applying electrical safety rules; planning a fair test and predicting results; naming common forces and describing what they do; identifying balanced and unbalanced forces; calculating the net force from forces acting in a straight line.
