Year 4 Science | States of Matter | Assessment

This flexible Year 4 States of Matter assessment is designed to help you track pupil understanding of key concepts taught across the unit. Covering everything from solids, liquids and gases to changes of state and the water cycle, it’s ideal for use at the end of the block—or to check understanding partway through.

Part of our Scintillating Science programme, this assessment aligns with the Ofsted science subject report by supporting ongoing assessment and evidence-informed teaching.

This KS2 science assessment includes:

• 📝 A mix of question types to check knowledge, vocabulary and application
• 📝 Coverage of all six lessons from the States of Matter unit
• 📝 Opportunities for children to explain their thinking using scientific language
• 📝 Answer sheet and marking scheme

Use this resource to identify gaps in learning, support end-of-unit reporting, or inform planning for future science topics. Easy to use, adaptable, and accessible for a range of abilities.
