Our Year 6 Science tutors focus on helping students achieve key outcomes, such as understanding how changes in physical conditions impact living things, modeling the relationship between the Earth and the sun, and investigating electrical circuits. We guide students in planning and conducting investigations, making precise measurements, and analyzing data to identify patterns. Our goal is to support students in developing scientific reasoning and communicating their findings using appropriate language and evidence.
Biological Sciences:
Students explore how changes in environmental conditions, such as temperature and light, affect the growth and survival of living things. Our tutors guide them in observing and analyzing these changes, helping them understand the complex interactions between living organisms and their habitats.
Earth and Space Sciences:
Students learn about the movement of Earth and other planets relative to the sun and how these movements create phenomena such as day and night. Our tutors support them in using models to explore concepts like Earth's rotation and tilt, helping them understand the cycles that influence our world.
Physical Sciences:
Students investigate how energy is transferred and transformed in electrical circuits, identifying the role of components like conductors, insulators, and switches. Our tutors guide them in building circuits and using diagrams to represent their observations, fostering an understanding of how electricity powers everyday devices.
Chemical Sciences:
Students explore reversible and irreversible changes in substances, from dissolving and melting to cooking and rusting. Our tutors help them conduct experiments to classify these changes and understand the underlying processes, supporting their grasp of how matter behaves in different conditions.
Science as a Human Endeavour:
Students learn how scientific knowledge evolves through collaboration and is applied to address real-world challenges. Our tutors provide examples of how scientific advances have shaped communities, from sustainable practices to technological innovations, helping students appreciate the value of scientific inquiry.
Science Inquiry:
Our tutors encourage students to pose investigable questions, make predictions, and design fair tests. They guide students in using precise measurement tools, recording data, and organizing information into graphs and tables to identify trends, supporting their ability to draw reasoned conclusions.
