Mixtures & Separation

Year 5 - Science - Autmun 1

Core Learning

Know that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution
Use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating
Demonstrate that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes

Planning different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, including recognising and controlling variables where necessary.
Taking measurements, using a range of scientific equipment, with increasing accuracy and precision, taking repeat readings when appropriate.
Recording data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, classification keys, tables, scatter graphs, bar and line graphs.
Reporting and presenting findings from enquiries, including conclusions, casual relationships and explanations of and degree of trust in results, in oral and written forms such as displays and other presentations.

In Year 4, pupils will learned how materials can change state when heated and cooled, and about the water cycle.

The secondary school curriculum will extend knowledge further.
