Key Stage 2 Science
Throughout KS2, your child will study science topics in three broad categories: life and living things, materials and their properties and physical processes.
You can support science learning at home, help your child develop the skills of ‘scientific enquiry’ and stimulate their interest in the world around them with hundreds of KS2 sciences worksheets, activities and games.
Plus, check out the fantastic Science Learning Journey, with separate programmes for Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6.
