Preparing for Secondary Science Year 6 Science Booklet | KS2 to KS3 Transition | Observations, Acids, Energy and More

Give your child a head start on secondary school science before they even walk through the door.

This Year 6 booklet is designed specifically for the transition to secondary school, introducing the kind of scientific thinking, vocabulary, and topics your child will meet in Year 7. From using microscopes to understanding energy transformation, each chapter builds genuine scientific confidence and curiosity. Real photography, clear diagrams, bold vocabulary, and accompanying YouTube videos for every chapter make this an engaging resource at home or in the classroom.

What's inside:

• How scientists use tools like microscopes, magnifying glasses, and telescopes to improve observation beyond the naked eye
• Acids and alkalis — their properties, reactions, and how indicators like litmus paper tell them apart
• Chromatography — how scientists separate mixtures into their individual components
• The factors that affect photosynthesis: light intensity, carbon dioxide levels, and water availability
• How sound changes when the conditions of vibration change, with real-world examples
• How energy transforms from one form to another — from food to movement to heat
