Year 5 Science
Hamilton’s science scheme provides a broad but comprehensive experience of primary science that systematically covers the Year 5 science objectives of the UKS2 National Curriculum for England. Year 5 consists of 6 blocks (with 6 sessions), each of which can be completed within a half-term. We present them in a recommended teaching order, but you may adapt this to fit your requirements. Working scientifically, investigations and meaningful outcomes are fully incorporated in each block.
Hamilton's science session are freely available to all. Friends and School Subscribers can access some additional supporting material, including including year and block overview documents, assessment grids and specially commissioned background science documents to give Key Stage 2 teachers added confidence and depth of knowledge as well as ideas for how to learn more.
