Bring science to life for ages 8–9 with the Year Four Science collection from Hands-On Education. This carefully curated shop selection is designed to make the curriculum rich, memorable, and fully accessible with hands-on investigations, printable packs, and engaging activities.

Year Four Science resources support children in exploring key scientific concepts, such as states of matter, sound, electricity, living things, habitats, classification, and the human digestive system. Pupils ask scientific questions, make predictions, and conduct practical experiments using accessible materials. Projects include building circuits, observing the melting and freezing of substances, investigating pitch and vibration, dissecting flowers, and comparing animal teeth—all with a strong focus on observation, recording, and drawing conclusions.

Cross-curricular links to maths, art, geography, and design and technology are woven throughout, helping children apply their science knowledge in real-world contexts. Activities include graphing results, building models, writing scientific reports, drawing and labelling diagrams, and exploring links between science and their everyday experiences.

Every lesson pack comes with step-by-step instructions, teacher notes, and printable worksheets—making it simple to deliver whole-class, group, or home-based science. Challenges and differentiation options keep more able pupils engaged while guided templates support children needing more structure.

Regularly updated with new themes and seasonal project ideas, the Year Four Science collection allows educators and parents to keep lessons fresh and inspiring all year. Whether you’re following the national curriculum or building a bespoke learning journey, Hands-On Education offers science resources that foster curiosity, investigation, and scientific thinking in every child.
