What Year 5 explorers learn
- Year 5 Gravity & FrictionFind out how gravity pulls things down, how friction and air resistance slow them, and why streamlined shapes move faster.
- Year 5 Changes That Can & Can’t Be UndoneSort changes into reversible ones, like melting and dissolving, and irreversible ones, like burning, cooking and rusting.
- Year 5 MicroorganismsMeet bacteria, viruses and fungi: the tiny living things that make bread rise, turn milk into yoghurt, rot food — and sometimes make us ill.
