In this lesson, students will look at examples of reversible physical changes and irreversible chemical changes involving reactants and products. They will categorise different changes accordingly and will learn what indicators to look for to determine whether something is an irreversible change.
Using the experiment proforma sheet, they will carry out four different irreversible change experiments and will discuss their observations before being given scientific explanations for each. Finally, they will carry out a quiz on what they have learnt.
This lesson is one of 6 lessons on Properties and Changes of Materials. To view the other lessons, please visit: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/ResourcesForYou/Primary science
In this lesson, students will learn that a mixture is a combination of two or more substances that aren’t chemically joined and can be separated back into their individual substances. They will learn that there are two types of mixtures: heterogeneous and homogeneous and will look at examples of each.
They will then look at how these mixtures can be separated before completing a quiz on what they have learnt. Following this, they will carry out 3 investigations of separating mixtures. They will follow the experiment proforma to help them organise, record and analyse their observations before discussing their experiments as a class.

In this lesson, students will learn that there are two types of reproduction in plants: sexual and asexual. They will learn about the life cycle of plants that reproduce sexually looking at pollination, fertilisation, seed dispersal and germination. They will also learn the different parts of flowering plants and will dissect a flowering plant using the guide to help them.
They will then look at asexual reproduction in plants through tubers, runners and bulbs. They will consider the advantages and disadvantages with both.
They will be quizzed throughout the lesson for retrieval and will then complete an activity sheet which will question their understanding.
A knowledge organiser for the unit is included.

In this lesson, students will learn that there are three parts of the circulatory system: the heart, blood vessels and blood. They will learn about the structure and function of the heart in detail through engaging PowerPoint slides, video clip and an online resource. They will be quizzed on the information they have learnt.
There is also an optional link to an activity on dissecting a sheep’s heart before they label a heart and use arrows to show the direction of blood flow. Finally, they will be tasked to create their own script for an animation voice over similar to the YouTube clip watched which they can then use different platforms to record and edit their video.

In this lesson, students will learn the key stages of the human life cycle- prenatal, baby & child, adolescent & puberty, adult & old age. They will learn key information about each stage and be quizzed on this at the end. Their task will then be to create a timeline using the key facts learnt to begin the topic.

In this lesson, students will learn what animal behaviourists and natural scientists do and will learn in detail about Jane Goodall and David Attenborough who are examples of these. They will think about what we can study about animal behaviour and the journey these individuals have taken throughout their lives. Engaging video links are included to support learning as well as engaging and informative powerpoint slides.
Finally, they will decide whether they are going to be Goodall or Attenborough and write answers to the interview questions posed. They can then enact their interviews with a partner and to the class.

In this lesson, students will learn what constitutes a healthy diet. They will study the Eatwell Plate guide and learn how different food affect us. They will investigate food labels in relation to sugar, salt and fat and will learn the recommended amounts.
They will be tasked to organise different foods into the food groups before being quizzed on the nutritional value of different foods using their food labels.

In this lesson, students will learn that a life cycle is the series of changes a plant or animal goes through during its life. They will look at the life cycles of amphibians and insects who both go through a process called metamorphosis. They will recap key characteristics of each animal group before looking in detail at the life cycle of a frog and butterfly. Engaging video links are included for this also.
They will be tasked to complete a Venn diagram comparing amphibian and insect life cycles and then researching and creating their own life cycle diagrams for a salamander and dragonfly (information is included to support with this).

Electricity is a type of energy that can build up in one place or flow from one place to another. Electricity is the flow of electrons.
In this lesson, students will learn what electricity is, how circuits should be drawn and what the symbols for the electrical components are. They will carry out an investigation into what happens to the brightness of the bulbs in a circuit when the number of bulbs are increased. Followed by an investigation into an electrical component of their choice.

Investigation writing frames are provided as well as links to informative video clips. They will be challenged to create a number of different formations of circuits as well as parallel circuits.
In this lesson, students will learn that a life cycle is the series of changes a plant or animal goes through during its life. They will look at the life cycle stages for a mammal and bird and then in detail at an elephant and robin. Engaging video links are included for this also.
They will then complete a Venn diagram comparing the life cycles of mammals and birds before creating their own life cycle diagrams, using research tools, of a dog and a chicken (information is included to support with this).
