The Year 5 Science program encourages curiosity, investigation, and problem-solving through hands-on learning and critical thinking. Students explore the natural and built environment across topics including physical world, living world, earth and space, and material world. They develop scientific skills by asking questions, predicting outcomes, conducting fair tests, collecting data, and drawing conclusions. The course fosters collaboration, creativity, and the ability to communicate scientific ideas clearly, laying the groundwork for more structured science learning in later years.

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 investigate the effects of forces on objects, including gravity, friction, and magnetism. They conduct experiments to explore how different surfaces and materials affect motion. Students learn how to measure and record results, build simple machines, and describe how force is used in everyday contexts.
Term 2 focuses on how living things adapt to their environment. Students study how plants and animals survive in different conditions, examining features that help them meet their needs. Through observation and investigation, students explore the relationship between organisms and their habitats and learn how environmental changes can affect ecosystems.
In Term 3, students explore the solar system, focusing on the movements of Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. They investigate how these movements cause phenomena such as day and night, seasons, and lunar phases. Students use models and visual aids to understand the scale and structure of space and reflect on how ancient and modern observations of the sky have influenced understanding.
The final term investigates properties of materials and how they can be changed or combined. Students conduct experiments to test how materials react to heating, cooling, or mixing, and relate these changes to real-world uses. The term includes a project where students plan and conduct a scientific investigation, apply inquiry skills, and present their findings with clarity and evidence.
