Science Objectives
i) Compare and group together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including their solubility and response to magnets.

ii) Know that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution.

Working Scientifically

1. Plan different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, including recognising and controlling variables where necessary.
2. Record data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, tables and line graphs.
3. Use test results to make predictions to set up further comparative and fair tests.
4. Report and present findings from enquiries, including conclusions, causal relationships and explanations of and degree of trust in results, in written form.
