Looking for Science plans that engage students, inspire curiosity and take planning off your to-do list? This Year Two Chemical Science unit includes everything you need, from lesson plans and PowerPoint slides, through to experiments and assessment.

Through this unit, students recognise that materials can be changed physically without changing their material composition. They explore the effect of different actions on materials including bending, twisting, stretching and breaking into smaller pieces.
