Reversible and Irreversible Changes: a full term of science

Ten ready-to-teach lessons for Year 6 Chemical sciences. Print this pack and the term is prepared: every lesson has a plan, talk prompts, a student worksheet, cards or tickets, and answers.

AC9S6U04

compare reversible changes, including dissolving and changes of state, and irreversible changes, including cooking and rusting that produce new substances

Start here: five minutes to Monday

Skim the term at a glance on the next page.
Print the lesson you need (plan, worksheet, cards).
Gather everyday items under You need on the plan.
Open the free interactive unit on your board.
Teach from the plan: timings, prompts and answers are on one page.

No science background needed

Written for the busy generalist teacher. Plain words, common muddles, and model answers are on every plan. Safety: no open flames or boiling water unless an adult controls a warm-water step named on the plan.

On the board

This pack is the printable half of a free interactive unit. On-screen pictures include: “Sort the changes”, “Dissolving sugar is reversible”, “Changing state is reversible”, “Cooking an egg is irreversible”, “Rusting is irreversible”. Lesson plans name which picture to show.

Curriculum links (Australian Curriculum V9)

The term teaches AC9S6U04. Lessons also work these Inquiry and Human Endeavour descriptors:

AC9S6I01pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions

AC9S6I02plan and conduct repeatable investigations to answer questions including, as appropriate, deciding the variables to be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests; describing potential risks; planning for the safe use of equipment and materials; and identifying required permissions to conduct investigations on Country/Place

AC9S6I03use equipment to observe, measure and record data with reasonable precision, using digital tools as appropriate

AC9S6I04construct and use appropriate representations, including tables, graphs and visual or physical models, to organise and process data and information and describe patterns, trends and relationships

AC9S6I05compare methods and findings with those of others, recognise possible sources of error, pose questions for further investigation and select evidence to draw reasoned conclusions

AC9S6I06write and create texts to communicate ideas and findings for specific purposes and audiences, including selection of language features, using digital tools as appropriate

AC9S6H01examine why advances in science are often the result of collaboration or build on the work of others

AC9S6H02investigate how scientific knowledge is used by individuals and communities to identify problems, consider responses and make decisions

Assessment

Every plan ends with answers and look-fors.
The assessment kit near the front has a rubric and class checklist.
Lesson 10 is the summative check and model task.

Idea	Working towards	At standard	Beyond
Big idea	names an example with help	explains the unit idea in Year 4 words	applies the idea to a new example
Evidence	guess only	links a claim to something observed or measured	compares two pieces of evidence
Science words	everyday words only	uses unit words correctly	explains a word to a partner
Inquiry habit	follows steps with support	plans or records with the scaffolds	improves a plan after a first try

A note home

Dear families

This term in science, Year 6 explores reversible and irreversible changes. We use observation, simple tests and clear science words. Ask: What did you notice today? What evidence did you use?

Try this at home

Talk about a pattern you both notice outdoors or in the kitchen.
Ask for one science word from the week and use it in a sentence.
Draw a simple diagram of something they investigated.

Warm regards,

The Year 6 team

use the board picture to check our thinking,
record an example with evidence.

Success criteria

I can show one clear example of today’s idea.
I can say the idea in a short science sentence.

You need

interactive unit open on “Sort the changes” when available,
worksheet (next sheet), one per child,
optional cut-out cards or exit tickets (third sheet).

Lesson flow (about 60 minutes)

10 min	Hook Quick oral examples linked to the unit story. Ask: “What do you already know that might help today?”
15 min	On the board Open “Sort the changes”. Step the controls while children predict. Ask: “What changed? What stayed the same?”
20 min	Worksheet Children complete the sheet. Circulate for the muddles listed below.
15 min	Share and exit Two children share. Class finishes the exit sentence. Ask: “In one sentence, what was today’s idea?”

Split point: after On the board. Session B is worksheet and share.

use the board picture to check our thinking,
record an example with evidence.

I can say the idea in a short science sentence.

You need

interactive unit open on “Show what we know” when available,
worksheet (next sheet), one per child,
optional cut-out cards or exit tickets (third sheet).
