This collection of Year 4 science lessons covers all five units in the year's programme of study: Living Things and Their Habitats, Animals Including Humans, States of Matter, Sound, and Electricity. Each is a slide deck ready for whole-class teaching, mixing diagrams, key vocabulary and quick-check questions.

Aligned to the England National Curriculum for Key Stage 2 science, the lessons cover classification keys, the digestive system and food chains, solids, liquids and gases in the water cycle, how vibration creates sound, and constructing simple circuits. Working scientifically, from predicting and fair testing to recording results, is woven through the activities so pupils practise the skills alongside the knowledge.

Each deck is editable in Chalkie: regenerate a diagram-labelling task, add your class's investigation data, or simplify vocabulary for pupils who need it. It is a faster way to prepare Year 4 science lessons that still feel tailored to your class, and the consistent structure helps pupils settle into science routines.

What Year 4 Science covers

  • Living Things and Their Habitats

    Pupils group living things in a variety of ways, use classification keys, and recognise that environments can change.

    Pupils describe the functions of the human digestive system, identify types of teeth, and construct and interpret food chains.

    View lessons
  • States of Matter

    Pupils compare and group materials as solids, liquids or gases, and explore evaporation and condensation in the water cycle.

    View lessons
  • Sound

    Pupils learn how sounds are made through vibration, and how pitch and volume can be changed.

    View lessons
  • Electricity

    Pupils construct simple series circuits, name their basic components, and identify common conductors and insulators.
