Adaptations, the solar system, the behaviour of light, and the three states of matter: Year 5 science reaches from desert animals to distant planets. These Year 5 science lessons cover living things and ecosystems, earth and space, light and energy, and solids, liquids and gases, one slide deck for each science understanding area of the Australian Curriculum v9.0.

Students describe structural features and adaptations that help living things survive, model the movement of Earth and the planets around the sun, investigate shadows, reflection and refraction, and explain how everyday materials change state. Objectives are listed with each deck, ready for your program and assessment records.

The decks carry demonstrations and diagrams that would take hours to build yourself, and any of them can be edited in Chalkie, swap in Australian desert or reef species, or add your own investigation results. That is a term of Year 5 science lessons, sorted.
