Plan for electricity, circuits.

A fun presentation on identification keys for the Science curriculum. The powerpoint runs through what an identifcation key is, examples of identification keys, how to structure an identification key, two fun activities (involving biscuits and Frozen characters) for pupils to have a go at, plus a homework task! This lesson was used with my Y5 class but can easily be adapted for 8-14 year olds. If you do have any questions or need any support, please send me a message. *My resources always take me a lot of time and effort to create so I hope that they help to save you some precious time - please do review my resources. Thank you!*

Properties of materials - children in classroom, around school or at home can draw or write objects that fit the property i.e kettle in shiny

A presentation that runs through where fruits are from with extra information. The activities include a Venn diagram sorting activity and a homework sheet on fact finding.

A presentation used for a whole-school assembly to make pupils think more about how they can contribute to saving the environment. The 13 slide presentation focuses on: saving water. saving paper, not littering, recycling and walking more. Can also easily be used for a lesson.

A fun science experiment with planning, presentation and resource sheets, which hits many objectives in Y3/4 and Y5/6. The experiment is linked to the three witches in Macbeth and engages children by combining potions and science!

A fun science experiment focusing on the properties of materials linked to Shakespeare's Macbeth. This 6 lesson DT and science learning journey, asks children to design and build a boat using 'junk' and considering the properties of different materials. Includes: presentation, planning, resources and certificate. Objectives that the learning journey covers, are: Y3/4 1a. asking relevant questions and using different types of scientific enquiries to answer them 1b. setting up simple practical enquiries, comparative and fair tests 1c. making systematic and careful observations 1d. gathering, recording, classifying and presenting data in a variety of ways to help in answering questions 1e. recording findings using simple scientific language, drawings, labelled diagrams, keys, bar charts, and tables 1f. reporting on findings from enquiries, including oral and written explanations, displays or presentations of results and conclusions 1g. using results to draw simple conclusions, make predictions for new values, suggest improvements and raise further questions 1h. identifying differences, similarities or changes related to simple scientific ideas and processes Y5/6 2a. planning different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, including recognising and controlling variables where necessary 2b. recording data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, classification keys, tables, scatter graphs, bar and line graphs 2c. using test results to make predictions to set up further comparative and fair tests 2d. reporting and presenting findings from enquiries, including conclusions, causal relationships and explanations of and degree of trust in results, in oral and written forms such as displays and other presentations 2e. identifying scientific evidence that has been used to support or refute ideas or arguments.

An informative presentation all about sugar and the effects of. Includes a fun practical activity that will get parents thinking. The presentation can be very easily adapted for a KS2/3 Science lesson. To make it an excellent experiment/workshop, I bought sugar and physical resources to make it interactive and engaging. If you have any questions or need any support, send me a message and I'll do anything I can to help. Please do review any resources that you download - many thanks!

This sheet allows children to start thinking about why electrical symbols are used, their meaning and a chance to design their own. Pictures to cut and stick - sort conductors and insulators

Children walk around school and find 6 different types of light or can be done as homework. Draw or write. Include things like the small lights of computers for variation.

Topic of green fingers in our local environment, children created front cover by using different shades of green paint on their finger to make an image of a plant.

Follows on from planning experiment on which soap lathers the most. Children experiment and record on this sheet.

An interesting starting point to explore heating and cooling and changing materials. Opens up discussion....

This is heavily focussed on reading but linked with our science topic. Children have to read the text and then answer questions on it. Activites like this are beneficial in starting to prepare children for reading tests so it's easier for them if/when they do have to sit them.

This is an A3 diary and will need to be photocopied on double sides to make a booklet. Lovely design of cress round the outside...my class loved it. Please leave feedback if you use it, thank you :)

An A3 dictionary where children can try writing definitions of key words that they found on the internet (previous lesson). Children will write simple definitions for words, such as, root, stem, leaf etc. Great for display!

Shows a clear image of the learning journey which can be adapted for other lessons if the format is helpful. Starts children thinking about different types of material because I feel in Year 1 they should know more than just 'metal, glass...'

Links to 'which soap lathers the most?' test included in other resources. A differentiated sheet to start thinking about keeping a test fair and how to make it safe.

Describe the change in bread when it is toasted and predict what will happen when frozen.
