Working Scientifically with Energy Bites for Years 3 & 4
This resource has been designed to use as a way to teach the working scientifically objectives apart from the core science objectives of the 2014 National Curriculum of England.
In the past, I have used the lessons with the class as a way to reinforce fair testing, as well as different types of variables.
This activity gives children the opportunity to go deeper into concepts, combining DT, Maths, and core science.
This pack includes lesson plans, rubrics, and base recipes to support with the learning process.
A link is also provided should you want to access the file for editing and sharing differentiated slides on Google Classroom or Seesaw.

Working Scientifically with Cookies for Years 5 &6 **UPDATED
This resource has been designed to use as a way to teach the Working Scientifically objectives apart from the core science objectives.
In the past, I have used the lessons with the class as a way to reinforce the concept of a fair test, as well as different types of variables.
Baking gives the children the opportunity to go deeper into concepts, combining them with design, Maths, and core science. I have included recipes at the start of the pack to do with the class initially and expose them to different macarons. Alternatively, different types can be purchased ahead of time and shared with the class that way.

Working Scientifically with MakeyMakey in Years 3 & 4
Make Working Scientifically more fun with MakeyMakey!
This resource has been designed to use as a way to teach the Working Scientifically objectives apart from the core science objectives.
In the past, I have used the lessons with the class as a way to reinforce the concept of a fair test, as well as different types of variables. The pack has been broken up into objectives for Years 3 and 4.
Using the MakeyMakey gives the children the opportunity to go deeper into concepts, combining them with engineering, design and core science. Children can also create products with the littleBits to present their findings from enquiries and conclusions as a way to show their understanding.

Mission to Mars: Design a Mars Rover with littleBits
Updated with new graphics and Google extension
This 35-page resource has been designed to use as a guide to designing a Mars Rover with littleBits. Children will first look at previous Mars Rovers and their jobs before designing, making, and evaluating their own Rovers.
This Outcome will allow children to use the Design - Make - Evaluate - Technical Knowledge threads of the 2014 National Curriculum of England’s Design & Technology document.
littleBits don’t have to exclusively be used for the Outcome - Lego Robotics (WeDo) and simple circuit kits can also be used. Teachers are encouraged to also have thin card, sugar paper and adhesives available to create the rovers with the circuits inside.

Mission to Mars: Build an Ecosystem (Persuasive Writing)
**Updated with new graphics and Google extension
This 55-page resource is meant to be a critical thinking objective where children learn about ecosystems while considering what they would need to survive on the planet Mars.
Children will learn about ecosystems, habitats, and communities before learning about keystone species and writing a persuasive text about which ecosystem should be brought to Mars.

Information Text on an Island Organism from Kensuke's Kingdom
This 35-page resource has been designed to use alongside** Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo**, but can also be done independently of the novel study.
Children will research different flora and fauna of an island in the South Pacific before writing an information text about their chosen flora or fauna.
The pack includes different graphic organisers, resources for lower ability pupils, as well as lesson plans and rubrics.
Lessons and objectives are aligned with objectives from the 2014 National Curriculum of England and has links to the Common Core.
Digital copies of the files for editing and sharing on digital platforms are available with download.

Field Guide of Island Organisms from Kensuke's Kingdom
This 49-page resource has been designed to use alongside Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo, but can also be done independently of the novel study.
Children will research different flora and fauna existing on an island in the South Pacific, using art skills to make a field guide.
Science curriculum is threaded through the Outcome, with children classifying organisms in different ways and learning about how water and nutrients are transported within organisms, including sea stars, sea sponges, and coral.
The pack includes different graphic organisers, resources for lower ability pupils, as well as lesson plans and rubrics.
Lessons and objectives are aligned with objectives from the 2014 National Curriculum of England and has links to the Common Core.

Ancient Benin Study: Write an Information Text about Poaching
This resource is meant to be used by children in Key Stage 2 (English objectives pitched to Years 5 and 6) to investigate elephants, the significance of hunting elephants in Ancient Benin, as well as the changes made to this practice with the introduction of European trade to the kingdom. Children will then look at modern poaching and write an information text about the subject.
Children will first read to learn about warriors and hunting in Ancient Benin before planning, writing and revising their own story using shifts in formality.

Lights, Camera, Action!: Cinema and Shadow
*Updated with new graphics
This resource has been planned for a 6-week Half-Term. It connects the curriculums for Design Technology, Science, Art, English, and History.
Children investigate light and how it travels while also studying the eye and the history of cinema, with a focus on special effects.

Create a Horror Movie Trailer Using Shadow
*Updated with new graphics
To introduce this Learning Outcome, we took the children outside with different materials to make shadow art. Some were given challenges, and some were left to explore.
Children are then exposed to how shadow is moved to create fear in horror films before being challenged to design a movie trailer of their own. We used iMovie’s Trailer option, but the same project could be done with a variety of different software options.
At the end, we invited parents in to school and served popcorn as we all watched the horror trailers made by the children in the year group.
