This ready-to-use assessment and revision resource is designed to help pupils consolidate key learning from the Materials and their Properties unit. Perfect for classroom teaching, homework, or end-of-topic review, this engaging activity pack supports pupils in mastering vital scientific concepts while saving you precious planning time.
Aligned with the national curriculum for Year 5 science, this Topic Checker encourages pupils to explore and understand how materials behave, their properties, and the changes they undergo. Pupils are guided through a range of question types — from vocabulary and definition matching to prediction and explanation tasks — covering key terms such as reversible and irreversible changes, solubility, conductors and insulators, and methods of separating materials.
The resource blends clear, curriculum-focused content with a pupil-friendly layout, ensuring accessibility for all learners. Activities such as true or false statements, fill-in-the-blanks, and real-world application questions help children think scientifically and apply their understanding in practical contexts.
Use it as a quick science knowledge check, a formative assessment tool, or a stimulating revision task before end-of-unit tests.
