Primary Science Resources for the National Curriculum
Year 5 properties and changes of materials.
- Outstanding Science Year 5
- Properties And Changes Of Materials
Knowledge and Understanding
Statutory requirements, notes and guidance, upper ks2 - working scientifically, properties of materials ks2.
Pupils investigate the material properties of classroom objects, predicting and measuring transparency, electrical and thermal conductivity, and magnetism. They explain solubility using a simple particle model, and why solutions cannot be separated by filtration. They investigate which materials are soluble in water, the hardness of different materials, and evaporative separation. They consider fair testing, record their results in tables and display them in Venn diagrams and line graphs. Pupils discuss suitable methods for separating different mixtures. They consider a range of physical changes and explain whether they are reversible. They explain why materials suitable for different purposes. Pupils create an information text describing and evaluating 4 new synthetic materials.

- National Curriculum
- Key learning
Learning objective
I can explain how to recover a substance from a solution.
Children investigate the best place to put a cup of salt solution so that the water evaporates most quickly. They choose 4 locations and measure the amount of water in each container over the course of 7 days. They transfer their results to a line graph and use this to answer the question.
- 5c2 : know that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution
Properties of materials Investigation
Outstanding science year 5 | properties and changes of materials | os5c001.
I can group materials according to their properties.
Children investigate the properties of 10 different materials. They predict and then investigate whether the materials are electrical conductors, transparent, strong thermal conductors or magnetic. They record their results in a table, and then complete a Venn diagram containing 2 intersecting sets, choosing 2 properties by which to group the materials.
- 5c1 : compare and group together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including their hardness, solubility, transparency, conductivity (electrical and thermal), and response to magnets
Soluble materials Investigation
Outstanding science year 5 | properties and changes of materials | os5c002.
I can investigate which materials are soluble in water.
Children investigate whether sand, sugar, salt, flour or iron filings will dissolve in water. They record their results in a table and then display them in a single-set Venn diagram. They consider how they could separate the mixtures and solutions.
Investigating hardness Investigation
Outstanding science year 5 | properties and changes of materials | os5c003.
I can investigate the hardness of materials and place them in order of hardness.
Children investigate whether 5 different materials can be scratched by 4 different objects of increasing hardness. They use their results to place the materials in order of hardness.
Separating mixtures Investigation
Outstanding science year 5 | properties and changes of materials | os5c005.
I can suggest ways in which different mixtures can be separated.
Children consider 6 different mixtures / solutions and discuss the best way to separate each. They attempt to separate them using their chosen method. They discuss whether their method worked and why.
- 5c3 : use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating
Uses of materials Worksheet
Outstanding science year 5 | properties and changes of materials | os5c006.
I can explain why materials are used for different purposes.
Children identify the materials that 4 different objects are made from and explain why they have been chosen with reference to their physical properties. Next, they describe the physical properties and uses of 6 different materials - metals, plastics, wood, fabrics, glass and leather. They cut and paste or write their own descriptions.
- 5c4 : give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials, including metals, wood and plastic
New materials Worksheet
Outstanding science year 5 | properties and changes of materials | os5c007.
I can explain the advantages of new materials and how they were created.
Children learn about the origins of Post-It Notes, wrinkle-free cotton, polar fleece and Gore-Tex. They complete an information text, showing when and by whom they were invented, their advantages and disadvantages, and common applications.
Reversible and irreversible changes Worksheet
Outstanding science year 5 | properties and changes of materials | os5c008.
I can identify if a change is easily reversible and how to reverse it.
Children examine 11 different physical changes of materials. They identify whether they can be easily reversed and explain how or why.
- 5c5 : demonstrate that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes
- 5c6 : explain that some changes result in the formation of new materials, and that this kind of change is not usually reversible, including changes associated with burning and the action of acid on bicarbonate of soda.
