Scientific Diagrams (KS2)

This is a ppt presentation I have adapted from 2 different free resources downloaded from TES so as to be suitable for primary school aged children.

Although not strictly in the National Curriculum at this level, I used it as part of a couple of lessons supporting the LO: Identify how the habitat changes throughout the year, in year 4, as once we had had the initial practice drawing scientific diagrams in the classroom, I could take them into their local habitat, and they could use this skill amongst others, such as identifying creatures/plants in their habitats and photo records etc.

I used this in class with a number of objects, such as beautiful feathers, pine cones, geodes, a live spider, and some preserved insects in perspex. Some of the children drew an artistic sketch alongside it in their artists sketchbooks, in 2B pencil to compare how they are similar and different.
