How we teach Year 5 science for homeschool!

Our interactive science platform provides over 700 lessons for children, age 4-14. Today, we are exploring how we teach Year 5 science. Discover how we help your Year 5 learner develop their science knowledge and skills.

KS2 national curriculum

Give learners the science education they deserve with our award-winning homeschool curriculum solution.  Written by exceptional teachers, the Year 5 science curriculum supports national curriculum learning objectives and goes way beyond to provide a memorable experience for learners.  The KS2 Year 5 curriculum will take you on a scientific story of discovery - from the Big Bang Theory, to Newton’s Laws; to understanding the effects of pollution on our planet.  And much more in between.

Ensure children get the breadth of knowledge they need whilst enjoying their learning journey by taking quizzes, completing worksheets and exploring our stunning slideshows.  Learn alongside your child and help them make models of volcanoes, investigate physical and chemical changes and discover the fascinating lives of scientists such as Sir David Attenborough and Dame Jane Goodall.  With our expert demonstrations and fascinating science facts, your child will engage with science and make real progress.

Year 5 science lesson plans

Easy to follow methodology is provided for each Year 5 science lesson with our lesson plans.  If you need to know what resources to grab, which worksheet to download or how to conduct the investigation, it is all here at your fingertips.  The lesson plans include a mastery section for both tutor and child, so you are both fully equipped to maximise the use of each and every lesson.

Each and every lesson can be used to build your own in-class or homeschool science course in our platform.  At the click of a few buttons, you can put the science lesson plan you want to teach, in the order you want, on the date you desire.
