A resource that was created for use in year 1 and 2 lesson in Science. The lesson was used for a learning together Science session when investigating materials but can also be used within the classroom with just the children. The children were to think about materials that sink and float, and those which are waterproof and what each of those words mean. The children were then asked to design and label a boat for the boy and the penguin to travel to the South Pole using the 'junk' materials that they had brought in. They were then asked to make their design, test it and then evaluate at the end. This pack contains the powerpoint used to explain what to do for the children and also looked at the meaning of the different words we were talking about. It also contains the experiment sheet.

Also included is a table for the children to investigate living, dead and never alive objects around the school and then place in the correct column.

A group of resources used when teaching year 1 about different types of animals and their features during our animals and humans science topic. Includes a lesson plan explaining how I used the different resources, a PowerPoint presentation, facts and pictures for the children to investigate and an activity to go in their books. I aimed for the children to investigate and become experts themselves. I had a recording of Peter Pan asking the children for help to discover what type of animal the Neverbeast was as my hook for the lesson. Peter Pan wanted to set a trap for the Neverbeast but wasn't sure where to put it. I also had animal noises playing in the background throughout.

A resource created to teach year 1 children about what a plant needs to survive. We began thinking about whether a plant needed water to grow and moved on to creating an experiment to prove it.
