Air resistance is a force that is caused by air. The force acts in the opposite direction to an object moving through the air. It is a type of friction.
In this lesson, students will learn what air resistance is and how it affects us. They will learn about Galileo Galilei who first investigated air resistance and how without air, objects with the same mass will fall at the same rate. They will learn about streamlining in order to minimise surface area and they will complete a quiz mid-way to check understanding.
They will then carry out two experiments- 1) paper drop test 2) investigating how the size of a canopy affects the rate of a parachute’s decent.
Sheets are provided for the experiments along with an interactive presentation and useful knowledge organiser.

A microorganism is a living thing that is too small to be seen with the naked eye. Examples of microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, algae, protozoa and fungi.
In this lesson, students will learn about the 5 different types of microorganisms and how they behave. They will complete a matching activity: matching the microorganism with its information and will further investigate them through links to scientific websites online provided. They will then write a non-chronological report on what they have learnt (proformas provided) and will finally create their own microbe character to write a ‘Lonely Hearts’ add for, for fun.
This is an engaging lesson which comes with an interactive power point presentation and all corresponding activity worksheets. It is designed for Year 6 but could easily be modified to suit lower KS2 and KS3.

A mechanism is a device which takes an input motion or force, and outputs a different motion and force.
In this lesson, students will learn about different mechanisms such as pulleys, gears and levers. They will see how each works in everyday life and learn the science behind them. They will be asked to identify which mechanism from the images and will complete a quiz mid-way through to check understanding.
They will then carry out an experiment creating their own levers before designing their own machines using what they have learnt. The activity sheets are provided which guide them through this process.

A force is a push or pull that causes a change in speed, direction or shape. Some forces are affected by speed, other forces are not. All forces come in pairs, no force exists by itself.
In this lesson, students are introduced to what a force is and how the affect us. They look at examples of magnetism, air & water resistance, friction and upthrust. The interactive powerpoint shows how the forces work through diagrams and videos.
The students then complete the activity sheet labelling the forces and drawing their own diagrams.

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 how electricity is measured and what voltage is. They will learn that citrus fruits can be used as a battery to power electrical current and will investigate which citrus fruit is best to use.
A writing frame will be provided for the experiment as well as an engaging powerpoint presentation to support them through the learning.

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 about electricity and its potential dangers. They will learn where electricity comes from and how it is measured. They will look at electrical safety and the appropriate measures to take when around electricity. Finally they will design a poster warning of the dangers of electricity and giving safety tips.

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.
A knowledge organiser for the unit is included.
