Science: PROPERTIES AND CHANGES OF MATERIALS (see scheme of work for more detail)

• Compare and group together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including their hardness, solubility, transparency, conductivity (electrical and thermal) and response to magnets.
• Know that some material will dissolve in a liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution.
• Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials including woods, metals and plastic.
• Demonstrate that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes.
