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). A knowledge organiser for the unit is included. This lesson is 1/5 on Living Things and Their Habitats, Year 5.

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. This lesson is 1/5 on Electricity.

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). A knowledge organiser for the unit is included. This lesson is 1/5 on Living Things and Their Habitats, Year 5.

In this lesson students will learn what a fossil is and what the stages of the fossilisation process are. They will draw each stage before looking at The Fossil Record and answering questions on the different eras and periods. They will learn about Darwin’s involvement in fossils and will how they prove evolution today. They will also learn about Mary Anning by watching an informative video clip and with support from the worksheet, will present what they have learnt. By the end of this lesson, students will have a good understanding of how fossils evidence evolution and are studied today. This lesson is 1/5 on Evolution and Inheritance.
