Year 6 completes the primary science curriculum with five substantial units: living things and their habitats, animals including humans, evolution and inheritance, light, and electricity. These Year 6 science worksheets give each one structured written practice.
All content follows the upper Key Stage 2 science programme of study for England — classification of living things into broad groups, the circulatory system and healthy lifestyles, how fossils and offspring point to evolution, how light travels in straight lines, and the behaviour of components in a circuit. Written answers push pupils to use accurate scientific vocabulary, which is where explanations often fall down.
Teachers use them to consolidate practical work, to check knowledge at the end of each unit, and to revise the full Key Stage 2 science curriculum in the summer term. Every worksheet is free to download. Editing is free too: sign in to Chalkie's no-card free plan to tailor questions or regenerate whole sheets for a second pass.
