The Year 6 Science program builds on studentsÆ curiosity about the world through structured inquiry, scientific thinking, and hands-on learning. Students engage with key strands including the physical world, living world, earth and space, and material world. They investigate scientific questions using fair testing, observations, and data collection while communicating findings using scientific vocabulary. Emphasis is placed on applying science to real-world problems, understanding systems and processes, and working both independently and collaboratively. This year also supports the transition into high school science by reinforcing foundational skills and introducing more complex concepts.

The student has shown steady improvement across the terms, in Science. Homework completion is consistent with a few late submissions. Overall, excellent progress!
In Term 1, students explore electrical energy, learning how it is produced, transferred, and used in everyday systems. They build simple circuits, investigate conductors and insulators, and explore the role of energy in powering devices. Through practical activities, students develop a basic understanding of energy flow, safety, and design thinking.
Term 2 focuses on the diversity of living things and how scientists classify them. Students examine observable features to group animals and plants, while also exploring microorganisms and their roles in health, food production, and decomposition. Investigations help students understand life at both the macro and micro level, encouraging careful observation and evidence-based conclusions.
In Term 3, students study EarthÆs dynamic systems including weather, climate, and natural disasters. They explore how human activity impacts environments and investigate solutions to reduce negative effects. This term fosters environmental awareness and scientific thinking around sustainability, change, and human responsibility.
The final term focuses on the behaviour of materials under different conditions and how substances can be combined or changed. Students investigate reversible and irreversible changes such as melting, freezing, and chemical reactions. The term concludes with a guided scientific investigation project, where students design, test, and present their findings, reinforcing the inquiry process and preparing them for high school science expectations.
