Curriculum anchor: England Year 5 Science: solutions, recovery, separating mixtures and reversible or not-usually-reversible changes.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Keep practical work supervised and ask whether the starting materials can be recovered. Keep any burning work teacher-led; pupils must not burn materials independently. Take a break when you need one.
