From life cycles to the solar system, Year 5 science ranges further than any previous year. These Year 5 science worksheets cover the five National Curriculum units: living things and their habitats, animals including humans, properties and changes of materials, Earth and space, and forces.

All the worksheets follow the upper Key Stage 2 science programme of study for England, consolidating content such as reversible and irreversible changes, dissolving and separating mixtures, gravity and resistance forces, the movement of the Earth and Moon, and human development from birth to old age. Question types range from labelling and matching to short explanations that make pupils use scientific vocabulary precisely.

They work well as post-investigation write-ups, end-of-unit assessments, revision material or structured cover-lesson tasks. Every download is free. Sign up to Chalkie — the free plan asks for no card — to edit the questions or regenerate a worksheet around your class's own experiments and examples.
