• Year 6
  • Science

The last year before high school science. Make it count in Year 6.

Year 6 is the bridge. Circuits, variables and changes of state all reappear in Year 7 with harder language attached, so the students who genuinely understand them now start high school ahead.

The fact that you are looking means you are already doing the right thing.

Guided science thinkingYear 6 Science
Year 6 Science

Everything your child is studying in Year 6 Science.

Aligned to the Australian curriculum for your state, from circuits through to communicating findings.

01Electrical circuits and energy
02Changes of state and reversibility
03Sudden geological changes
04How living things respond to change
05Variables and fair testing
06Communicating scientific findings

Your child picks their state at signup, and every explanation follows their own board: NESA, VCAA, QCAA, SCSA, SACE, TASC, BSSS or TDT.

How it works

It asks before it explains.

This is a real Year 6 moment. The answer is one sentence long. SubjectMate asks first, because Year 7 will assume they worked it out themselves.

  • Hints get simpler if they stay stuck
  • Never hands over the answer

whats the difference between melting and dissolving
People mix these up constantly, so good question. Start here: when ice melts, is anything else involved, or is it just the ice changing? Now think about sugar in water. What is different about that one?
SubjectMate always asks your child to think first before explaining. This is what builds real understanding rather than just completed homework.
Why parents choose it

Ready for Year 7 Science, not just finished with Year 6.

They reason it out themselves

Built by an Australian teacher to guide rather than hand over answers, because Year 6 Science rewards understanding over memorising.

There at 6pm on a school night

Homework help the moment it is needed, and revision before the end of year assessment. SubjectMate never cancels.

Follows their actual class

Your child selects their state at signup and every explanation matches the Science their own school is teaching this term.

The average private tutor in Australia charges $80 to $120 per hour. SubjectMate is $39 a month, with no limit on sessions and no booking required.

Parent reviews

What Year 6 students and parents say.

Year 3 Maths

“He used to refuse maths homework every single night. Now he jumps on SubjectMate before I even ask. His end of term report was the best we have ever seen.”

Amanda R.Parramatta NSW
Year 4 Reading

“My daughter has always struggled with longer texts. The voice feature changed everything for her. By Term 3 her teacher said she was a completely different student in class.”

Common questions

Questions about Year 6 Science tutoring.

Is SubjectMate aligned to the Year 6 Science curriculum?

Yes. Your child selects their state at signup and SubjectMate aligns every explanation, topic and example to the Australian curriculum for that state and year level.

Will this help my child get ready for Year 7 Science?

Yes. Circuits, variables and changes of state all return in Year 7 with more formal language. SubjectMate works on the understanding rather than the wording, which is what transfers.

Does Year 6 Science include simulations?

No. Simulations are reserved for high school students studying those concepts formally. Year 6 Science is guided questioning and everyday examples, which is what the curriculum asks for.

How much does Year 6 Science tutoring with SubjectMate cost?

Plans start at $39 a month, less than a single hour with most private tutors. Every plan starts with a 7 day free trial and you can cancel at any time.
