New Grade 5 Science Resource | Forces & Magnetism

Make science more active, practical and meaningful with the new TraceBloom Learning Grade 5 Forces & Magnetism Activity-Led Workbook! 🌸

This 30-page science resource is designed to help Grade 5 learners build strong scientific understanding while developing the skills they need to think and work like young scientists.

The workbook explores important concepts related to forces and magnetism, including:

• Gravity, normal force and applied force
• Gravity and satellites
• Friction and different types of resistance
• Air resistance and other forces that oppose motion
• Upthrust
• Multiple forces acting on objects
• Magnets and magnetic materials
• Magnetic force and attraction
• Fair testing and scientific investigations
• Identifying variables
• Force diagrams
• Recording observations and data
• Reading and representing data using graphs
• Making predictions and observations
• Analysing results
• Drawing evidence-based conclusions

Rather than functioning as a traditional learner textbook, this workbook follows an activity-led approach. Learners are encouraged to actively engage with science through prediction, investigation, observation, recording, comparison, analysis and application.

Activities are designed to give learners opportunities to connect scientific ideas with situations they can observe in everyday life. They can explore how forces affect movement, investigate friction and resistance, think about how magnets interact with different materials, interpret simple scientific data and communicate their findings using appropriate scientific language.

The workbook also introduces important scientific investigation skills, helping learners understand why fair tests are important, how variables can affect an investigation, how evidence can be recorded clearly, and how conclusions should be based on results rather than guesses.

Whether you are a classroom teacher, homeschool educator, tutor or parent looking for additional Grade 5 science practice, this resource can be used for classroom activities, independent work, revision, science centres, homework or additional practice.
