Year 6 Science Practice Questions
Year 6 is a crucial year in a child’s academic journey, laying the groundwork for their future studies. A well-structured curriculum during this time ensures that students develop a strong foundation in various subjects.
Year 6 science practice questions are likely to be challenging and comprehensive. Practice topic wise questions Year 6 Science Practice Questions at IITian Academy.

Living things and their habitats
- describe how living things are classified into groups including micro-organisms, plants and animals
- give reasons for classifying plants and animals
Animals, including humans
- identify and name parts and functions of the human circulatory system
- recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way the body functions
- describe how nutrients and water are transported within animals
Evolution and inheritance
- learn how fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth in the past
- recognise that living things produce offspring that are not identical to their parents
- identify how plants and animals are adapted to suit their environment and that adaptation may lead to evolution
Light
- understand that light appears to travel in straight lines and is necessary for us to see objects
- understand how shadows are formed
Electricity
- investigate how the brightness of a lamp and the volume of a buzzer changes with the number and voltage of cells used in a circuit
- give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on / off positions of switches
- use recognised symbols when representing a circuit in a diagram
This is the final year of the Key Stage 2 science curriculum and the main areas are still:
- Life processes and living things
- Materials and their properties
- Physical processes
