Earth and space Year 5
In Year 5 at school, children start learning some amazing things about Earth and space. They begin by studying our planet, Earth. They discover how it’s made up of land, water, and air.
They’ll also learn about the different layers of the Earth, like the crust and the core. Pupils will also explore the fascinating world of rocks and minerals.
Next, take a leap into space. Pupils will learn about our solar system and about asteroids and comets. They’ll find out what makes day and night and why we have seasons.
Pupils will also delve into the wonders of the universe. They’ll learn about stars, galaxies and constellations. It’s mind-blowing for them to think about the billions and billions of stars out there.
Year 5 is all about asking questions and discovering the amazing science of our planet and the vastness of space. It’s a year of endless curiosity and wonder.
