These documents provide 10 practical science experiments designed for KS2 (Years 3 and 4) students, working in small groups of 4-6. Each experiment includes a clear objective, a list of resources, and step-by-step instructions, allowing students to explore key scientific concepts like plant growth, magnetism, forces, and states of matter. The experiments encourage active learning, with suggestions for recording results through diagrams, tables, and graphs. These hands-on activities align with the UK National Curriculum, helping students develop skills in observation, prediction, and analysis.
This 4-lesson science unit for Year 4 students focuses on electricity and was designed for Science Week. Each lesson is supported with a detailed flipchart and worksheets, making it ready to use in the classroom. The engaging and interactive activities were a huge success, helping students explore concepts like circuits, conductors, and insulators in a hands-on way
This list provides 10 practical science experiments tailored for Year 5 and 6 pupils working in small groups. Each experiment is linked to the UK National Curriculum, covering topics such as materials, forces, electricity, and living organisms. The guide outlines clear instructions, required resources, and suggestions for recording results. These engaging experiments include dissolving sugar, making parachutes, growing mold, and creating simple circuits. The activities are designed to encourage hands-on learning, critical thinking, and collaboration among students.
Hands-On Science Experiments for Key Stage 2: 20 Engaging Activities for Curious Minds
This exciting collection of 20 hands-on science experiments is designed specifically for Key Stage 2 children, aged 7 to 11, and aligns with the UK Primary National Curriculum. Each experiment is carefully crafted to spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and develop scientific thinking through fun, interactive activities that make science both engaging and accessible.
The collection covers key areas of the curriculum, including forces, states of matter, light, sound, plants, and the properties of materials. With each experiment, children will explore core concepts such as magnetism, energy transformation, water cycles, and more. Activities include creating a mini volcano to observe chemical reactions, building simple circuits to learn about electricity, and designing water filters to understand materials and their uses.
Each experiment includes a comprehensive list of resources—mostly everyday items that are easy to find—and a clear, step-by-step method to ensure children can carry out each activity safely and independently. Alongside the methods, scientific explanations are provided to help children connect their observations with real-world concepts, deepening their understanding of how science shapes the world around them.
Perfect for classroom use or at-home learning, this collection is an invaluable resource for teachers, parents, and young scientists eager to discover the wonders of science through hands-on learning.
