Thinking & Working Scientifically

4 topics in Stage 5

Models & Representations

Try a worksheet →
  • Know that a model presents an object, process or idea in a way that shows some of its important features
  • Use models, including diagrams, to represent and describe scientific phenomena and ideas

Planning Investigations

Try a worksheet →
  • Ask scientific questions and select appropriate scientific enquiries to use
  • Know the features of the five main types of scientific enquiry
  • Make predictions referring to relevant scientific knowledge in familiar and unfamiliar contexts
  • Plan fair test investigations, identifying the independent, dependent and control variables
  • Describe risks when planning practical work and consider how to minimise them

Carrying Out Investigations

Try a worksheet →
  • Sort, group and classify objects, materials and living things through testing, observation and secondary information
  • Complete a key based on easily observed differences
  • Choose equipment to carry out an investigation and use it appropriately
  • Decide when observations and measurements need repeating to give more reliable data
  • Take appropriately accurate measurements
  • Carry out practical work safely
  • Use a range of secondary sources to research and select relevant evidence to answer questions
  • Collect and record observations or measurements in tables and diagrams suited to the enquiry

Analysing & Concluding

Try a worksheet →
  • Describe the accuracy of predictions, based on results
  • Describe patterns in results, including identifying any anomalous results
  • Make a conclusion from results informed by scientific understanding
  • Suggest how an investigation could be improved and explain any proposed changes
  • Present and interpret results using tables, bar charts, dot plots and line graphs

Biology

3 topics in Stage 5

Structure & Function

Try a worksheet →
  • Know that not all plants produce flowers
  • Identify the parts of a flower (petals, sepals, anthers, filaments, stamens, stigma, style, carpel, ovary)
  • Describe the functions of the parts of a flower (petals, anthers, stigma and ovary)
  • Describe the human digestive system and the functions of its organs, and know many vertebrates are similar

Life Processes

Try a worksheet →
  • Know that animals, including humans, need an adequate, balanced diet to be healthy
  • Know the stages in the life cycle of a flowering plant
  • Describe how flowering plants reproduce by pollination, fruit and seed production, and seed dispersal
  • Describe seed germination and know that seeds generally need water and a suitable temperature
  • Describe how plants and animals are adapted to environments that are hot, cold, wet or dry
  • Describe how flowering plants are adapted to attract pollinators and promote seed dispersal
  • Describe the common adaptations of predator and prey animals

Chemistry

3 topics in Stage 5

Materials & Their Structure

Try a worksheet →
  • Use the particle model to describe solids, liquids (including solutions) and gases
  • Understand that substances can be gaseous and know the common gases at room temperature

Properties of Materials

Try a worksheet →
  • Know that dissolving and acting as a solvent are properties of the solid and the liquid
  • Know the main properties of water, and know that water acts differently from many other substances

Changes to Materials

Try a worksheet →
  • Describe evaporation and condensation using the particle model and relate them to changes in temperature
  • Understand that dissolving is reversible and investigate how to separate the solvent and solute
  • Investigate and describe the process of dissolving, and relate it to mixing

Physics

3 topics in Stage 5

Forces & Energy

Try a worksheet →
  • Identify a range of forces: gravity, applied forces, normal forces, upthrust, friction, air resistance and water resistance
  • Know that an object may have multiple forces acting on it, even when at rest
  • Use force diagrams to show the name and direction of forces acting on an object

Light & Sound

Try a worksheet →
  • Investigate how sounds are made by vibrating sources
  • Describe sounds in terms of high or low pitch and loud or quiet volume
  • Investigate how to change the volume and pitch of sounds

Electricity & Magnetism

Try a worksheet →
  • Know the difference between a magnet and a magnetic material
  • Know that forces act over a distance between magnets, and between a magnet and a magnetic material
  • Know that magnets can have different magnetic strengths

Earth & Space

3 topics in Stage 5
  • Know that the Earth is surrounded by the atmosphere, a mixture of gases including nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen
  • Understand that most water on Earth is not pure and has dissolved substances in it
  • Understand that pollution is the introduction of harmful substances by humans, and identify examples

Cycles on Earth

Try a worksheet →
  • Describe the water cycle: evaporation, condensation and precipitation

Earth in Space

Try a worksheet →
  • Describe the orbit of the Earth around the Sun (slight ellipse, anticlockwise, and its duration)
  • Describe how the tilt of the Earth can create different seasons in different places
  • Know that a satellite orbits a larger object and a moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planet

Science in Context

1 topic in Stage 5

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

Questions parents ask

Are these worksheets aligned to the Cambridge Stage 5 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 5 actually covers, in the same language as your child's report card.
How many topics does Cambridge Stage 5 Science cover?
17 topics across 6 areas (Thinking & Working Scientifically, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth & Space, Science in Context), broken down into 59 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.
