From life cycles to the solar system, these Year 5 science lessons cover the five units of the year: Living Things and Their Habitats, Animals Including Humans, Properties and Changes of Materials, Earth and Space, and Forces. Each deck presents the concepts visually, with diagrams, vocabulary and questions built for whole-class teaching.

The content follows the England National Curriculum KS2 programme of study: describing life cycles and reproduction, human development to old age, dissolving and separating mixtures, the movement of the Earth and Moon, and the effects of gravity, friction and resistance. Working scientifically threads through each unit, from planning fair tests to interpreting results.

Present the decks as they stand or tailor them in Chalkie: regenerate a diagram task, add your class's investigation data, or split a long unit into shorter sessions. It makes preparing a term of Year 5 science lessons a matter of minutes per week, with diagrams designed to stay clear on any classroom display.
