🔬 Why science matters
Science teaches children to ask questions, test ideas and explain the world — and KS2 lays the groundwork for secondary biology, chemistry and physics.
🏫 What these lessons cover
The full KS2 programme: living things and the human body, plants and life cycles, materials and their changes, forces and magnets, light, sound, electricity, and Earth and space.
🎯 Myths corrected
Every lesson clears up a common misconception — plants don't eat soil, we don't see by light from our eyes, seasons come from tilt not distance, and food-chain arrows follow the energy.
The learning path
Work through the lessons in order — each one builds on the last.
Printable cheat sheets
One-page summaries of every method — print them and keep them by your child's desk.
Frequently asked questions
What order should my child work through the science lessons?
Any order works, but the sequence here flows naturally: living things and the body first (SC1–SC8), then materials (SC9–SC11), then physics — forces, light, sound, electricity — and space (SC12–SC16).
What ages are these science lessons for?
Ages 9–11 (Years 5–6 in England), covering the upper KS2 science curriculum and useful for 11+ general-knowledge and science sections.
Are these lessons free?
Yes — all 16 lessons and printable cheat sheets are completely free. The MindBlaze app adds daily practice and rewards.
Are the lessons scientifically accurate?
Yes — each lesson is written to be KS2-accurate and deliberately corrects the misconceptions children (and adults) often hold, like 'the Sun moves round the Earth'.
Do the lessons cover 'working scientifically'?
Yes — fair testing, observing and explaining are woven into the lessons, such as comparing materials with a fair test and explaining everyday observations.
