Biology

3 topics in Stage 3

Structure & Function

Try a worksheet →
  • Describe the function of the major parts of flowering plants (roots, leaves, stems, flowers)
  • Identify the distinguishing features of animal groups: fish, reptiles, mammals, birds, amphibians and insects
  • Identify important human organs (brain, heart, stomach, intestine, lungs) and describe their functions

Life Processes

Try a worksheet →
  • Describe differences between things that are living, were once alive, and have never lived
  • Know that life processes common to plants and animals include nutrition, growth, movement and reproduction
  • Know that plants need appropriate conditions, including temperature, light and water, to be healthy
  • Describe and compare how the offspring of different animals grow into adults
  • Identify and describe simple food chains, with plants as producers and animals as consumers

Chemistry

3 topics in Stage 3

Materials & Their Structure

Try a worksheet →
  • Know that materials can be solids, liquids or gases
  • Understand that a mixture contains two or more materials that can be physically separated

Properties of Materials

Try a worksheet →
  • Describe differences in the properties of solids and liquids
  • Understand that materials generally retain their properties within a mixture
  • Describe how to separate solid mixtures based on the physical properties of the solids
  • Describe how to separate a mixture of an insoluble solid and a liquid

Changes to Materials

Try a worksheet →
  • Know that a dissolved solid is still present, and that this is an example of mixing

Physics

3 topics in Stage 3

Forces & Energy

Try a worksheet →
  • Know that forces can be measured with a forcemeter
  • Know that gravity on Earth is a force that pulls towards the centre of the Earth
  • Know that friction is a force created between surfaces that makes movement harder
  • Describe how smooth and rough surfaces generate different amounts of friction

Light & Sound

Try a worksheet →
  • Investigate how light passes through some materials and is blocked by others (transparent, translucent, opaque)
  • Know that shadows form when light from a source is blocked by an object
  • Investigate how the size of a shadow is affected by the position of the object and the light source

Electricity & Magnetism

Try a worksheet →
  • Describe magnets as having a north pole and a south pole
  • Describe how magnets interact when near each other, using the terms repel and attract
  • Investigate how some materials are magnetic but many are not

Earth & Space

2 topics in Stage 3
  • Know that Earth is the source of the materials we use, many of which come from rocks
  • Know that fossils are impressions or remains of things that were once alive

Earth in Space

Try a worksheet →
  • Describe the regular change in the position and appearance of the Moon
  • Describe the relative movement of the Earth and Moon
  • Describe the Earth, Sun and Moon as approximately spherical

Science in Context

1 topic in Stage 3

Science in Context

Try a worksheet →
  • Talk about how some scientific knowledge and thinking now was different in the past
  • Talk about how science explains how objects they use or know about work
  • Know that everyone uses science, and identify people who use it professionally
  • Talk about how science helps us understand our effect on the world

Questions parents ask

Are these worksheets aligned to the Cambridge Stage 3 Science syllabus?
Yes. Mapped from the Cambridge Primary Science curriculum framework. Every worksheet is generated against the learning objectives listed on this page, so the practice matches what Stage 3 actually covers, in the same language as your child's report card.
How many topics does Cambridge Stage 3 Science cover?
16 topics across 6 areas (Thinking & Working Scientifically, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth & Space, Science in Context), broken down into 51 specific skills. The full list is on this page.
Can I get a worksheet from my child's textbook chapter instead?
Yes. In the app you can photograph the chapter, or even the school notebook, and the questions are built from that exact content rather than a generic topic bank. Useful for this week's lesson or tomorrow's class test.
Is this free?
The demo worksheet is free with no signup. Every child then gets a 14-day free trial with no card needed. After that, plans are priced per child and you can cancel any time.
