Thinking & Working Scientifically

4 topics in Stage 4

Models & Representations

Try a worksheet →
  • Know that models are not fully representative of a real world situation or scientific idea
  • Use models to show relationships, quantities or scale
  • Draw a diagram to represent a real world situation or scientific idea

Planning Investigations

Try a worksheet →
  • Ask scientific questions that can be investigated
  • Know that there are five main types of scientific enquiry
  • Make a prediction describing some possible outcomes of an enquiry
  • Identify variables to take into account when doing a fair test
  • Identify risks and explain how to stay safe during practical work

Carrying Out Investigations

Try a worksheet →
  • Use observations and tests to sort, group and classify objects
  • Use keys to identify objects, materials and living things
  • Choose equipment from a provided selection and use it appropriately
  • Describe how repeated measurements or observations can give more reliable data
  • Take measurements in standard units and describe their advantage over non-standard units
  • Carry out practical work safely
  • Use secondary information sources to research an answer to a question
  • Collect and record observations or measurements in tables and diagrams

Analysing & Concluding

Try a worksheet →
  • Identify whether results support, or do not support, a prediction
  • Describe simple patterns in results
  • Make a conclusion from results and relate it to the question investigated
  • Present and interpret results using tables, bar charts and dot plots

Biology

3 topics in Stage 4

Structure & Function

Try a worksheet →
  • Identify important bones in the human body (skull, jaw, rib cage, hip, spine, leg and arm bones)
  • Know that bones move because pairs of muscles attached to them contract and relax
  • Describe important functions of skeletons: protecting and supporting organs, movement and shape
  • Know that some animals have an exoskeleton
  • Identify vertebrates as animals with a backbone and invertebrates as animals without one

Life Processes

Try a worksheet →
  • Know that medicines can treat some illnesses, and describe how to use them safely
  • Know that plants and animals can have infectious diseases, and vaccinations can prevent some
  • Know that plants get energy from light and animals get energy from eating plants or other animals
  • Describe the importance of movement in maintaining human health

Ecosystems

Try a worksheet →
  • Know that different animals are found in, and suited to, different habitats
  • Know that plants and animals can survive in environments other than their habitats
  • Describe food chains as producers and consumers, classifying consumers as herbivores, omnivores, carnivores, predators or prey

Chemistry

3 topics in Stage 4

Materials & Their Structure

Try a worksheet →
  • Describe the particle model for solids and liquids
  • Understand the difference between materials, substances and particles
  • Know that particles are in constant motion, even when in a solid

Properties of Materials

Try a worksheet →
  • Use the particle model to explain the properties of solids and liquids
  • Describe and explain how some solids behave like liquids, such as powders, using the particle model

Changes to Materials

Try a worksheet →
  • Describe freezing and melting as a change of state, using the particle model
  • Understand that a change of state of a substance is a physical process
  • Know that some substances react to produce new substances, called a chemical reaction

Physics

3 topics in Stage 4

Forces & Energy

Try a worksheet →
  • Know that energy is present in all matter and in sound, light and heat
  • Know that energy cannot be made or destroyed but it can be transferred
  • Know that energy is required for any movement or action to happen
  • Know that some energy is transferred to the surroundings as sound, light or a temperature increase

Light & Sound

Try a worksheet →
  • Know that light travels in straight lines and can be represented with ray diagrams
  • Know that light can reflect off surfaces
  • Describe how objects which are not light sources are seen

Electricity & Magnetism

Try a worksheet →
  • Know that an electrical device will not work if there is a break in the circuit
  • Describe how a simple switch is used to open and close a circuit
  • Describe how changing components in a series circuit can make a lamp brighter or dimmer
  • Know that some materials are good electrical conductors, especially metals, and some are good insulators

Earth & Space

2 topics in Stage 4

Planet Earth

Try a worksheet →
  • Describe the structure of the Earth as a core, a mantle and a crust
  • Describe common features of volcanoes and know they are found at breaks in the Earth's crust
  • Know that the Earth's crust moves and a sudden movement is called an earthquake

Earth in Space

Try a worksheet →
  • Explain how the spinning of the Earth on its axis leads to the apparent movement of the Sun, day and night, and changing shadows
  • Name the planets in the Solar System
  • Know that the Sun is at the centre of the Solar System
  • Know that planetary systems can contain stars, planets, asteroids and comets

Science in Context

1 topic in Stage 4

Science in Context

Try a worksheet →
  • Describe how scientific knowledge changes over time through evidence gained by enquiry
  • Describe how science is used in their local area
  • Use science to support points when discussing issues, situations or actions
  • Identify people who use science in their area and describe how they use it
  • Discuss how the use of science and technology can have positive and negative environmental effects locally

Worksheets are the input. Clarity is the output.

Every worksheet your child completes becomes evidence. LearnAlice tracks each of the 63 skills above, shows you a clear level per topic in your board's own language, and tells you the one thing to practise next.

Questions parents ask

Are these worksheets aligned to the Cambridge Stage 4 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 4 actually covers, in the same language as your child's report card.
How many topics does Cambridge Stage 4 Science cover?
16 topics across 6 areas (Thinking & Working Scientifically, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth & Space, Science in Context), broken down into 63 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.
