This worksheet has a diagram showing four common electrical symbols and their pictures - battery/cell, lamp, cables/wires and a switch. The children have to draw an electrical circuit for a light with a switch. The second part of the worksheet is a fill in the blanks activity in which children use the words from the box to complete the paragraph about the circuit. This worksheet serves as a good introduction or reinforcement for children who are just starting to learn about electrical circuits and the symbols used to draw them.

This worksheet comprises of four activities that all relate to the parts of the skeletal system -skull, tibia, fibula, ulna, pelvis, ribs, spine, femur, patella etc. The activities are as follows: a) Anagrams of the parts of the skeletal system. b) Label a diagram with some of the parts of the skeletal system. c) A word search with some of the parts of the skeletal system with extra bonus words hidden within. It serves as a review or follow-up to an introduction of the system and the basic process. Children are expected to know the names of the parts, how to spell them, identify them on a diagram and understand what their basic role is in the system. *Extension task idea: Ask the children to choose one or two of the bones in the skeleton and relate it’s structure to its function. They could also create their own version of the skeletal song or create their own mnemonic to help remember the names of the bones. * The document is mostly editable so you can change some of the parts to suit your children’s needs.

This worksheet comprises of four activities that all relate to the parts of the respiratory system - nostrils, mouth, larynx, pharynx, trachea, bronchus, bronchioles, lungs, alveoli etc. The activities are as follows: a) Anagrams of the parts of the respiratory system. b) Label a diagram with some of the parts of the respiratory system. c) A word search with some of the parts of the respiratory system with extra bonus words hidden within. d) Describing the function of one or two of the parts of the respiratory system. It serves as a review or follow-up to an introduction of the system and the basic process. Children are expected to know the names of the parts, how to spell them, identify them on a diagram and understand what their basic role is in the system.

This worksheet is comprised of a table for children to fill in information about the three states of matter - solids, liquids and gases. The first row is for the names of each. The second row has a beaker outline for children to draw the arrangement of atoms or molecules for that particular state of matter. The third row is to describe in writing the basic properties of each state of matter and the final row is for examples of each. I use this worksheet in class to reinforce information about the states of matter. The diagrams are usually copied from the board or at least a diagram from the internet. For the rest of the content, I see how much the children can fill in independently before presenting the full set of information needed to complete the worksheet. Using the children as actual atoms is a fun addition to help explain the properties of each state of matter. For example, a group of children can stand in an orderly grid, shaking (vibrating) on the spot. Another child can act as a heat source and when they get near, the atoms start to vibrate faster before breaking off and then moving around, but only within the carpeted area. This can then continue through to gases and then reversed. It’s also a great way to introduce the names for the changes in state, which could also be added onto the worksheet with arrows showing the direction of change for evaporation, condensation, freezing and melting.

This worksheet comprises of four activities that all relate to the parts of the digestive system - mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus, gall-bladder, liver, pancreas etc. The activities are as follows: Anagrams of the parts of the digestive system Label a diagram with some of the parts of the digestive system A word search with the parts of the system with extra bonus words hidden within Describing the function of one or two of the parts It serves as a review or follow-up to an introduction of the system and the basic process. Children are expected to know the names of the parts, how to spell them, identify them on a diagram and understand what their basic role is in the system. The document is mostly editable so you can change some of the parts to suit your children’s needs.

This worksheet comprises a table of the seven nutrients with columns for their uses and example sources. Each section of the table has blanks for the children to fill in. The words for the blanks are provided in the table at the beginning. Each nutrient also has a few missing letters to fill in. I use this worksheet to reinforce the names, uses and sources of each of the seven nutrients needed in a healthy balanced diet. There are also posters with information on the classroom walls which they can refer to if they need. The document is fully editable so you can differentiate or make any other changes where you please.

This worksheet comprises of a fill in the blanks paragraph all about electrical conductors and insulators, a space for a experiment setup diagram and a results table. The children are expected to complete the fill in the blanks activity first. You could help them out by providing a word bank on the board/projector. They should then draw a circuit which will enable them to test the conductivity of different materials. For this you will ideally need some batteries, wires and either a motor, LED or Light bulb. I usually have children work in pairs for the experiment but complete their own worksheet. Before testing the materials the children have selected they need to make a prediction or hypothesis about whether their material will conduct electricity or not. *This document is fully editable so you can make changes where you please. *

This worksheet comprises two parts. The first is a fill in the blanks section where ideally the children test objects using a light source and fill in with the help of the words from the table. The second part can also involve some testing done throughout the day or could be done after the fact. It involves drawing where the sun would be at different times of the day and then drawing an object and its corresponding shadow. Children learn about the ways that a shadow can be affected and how and relate it to the shadows of objects caused by everyday objects blocking light from the sun. As an extra fun activity, have the children draw around their own shadows at different points during the day. It helps to have a compass too to record the direction the sun is shinning in. *This download comes as both a PDF and a fully editable DOC, so you can change it to suit your needs. *

In teaching the topic of sound and look at vibrations and how sound travels, the children perform this practical. It involves making the paper-cup phones by following the instructions and writing it up using the scientific method. The equipment and method are done already but the children are expected to select their own hypothesis and write up a short analysis and conclusion.

In our study of states of matter, we (Year 3) make jelly and ice cream in a bag. This is a fill in the blanks worksheet for the recipe to make a packet of regular jelly. The words are included in a table above the text. The document is fully editable, so you can change various parts or instructions as you please.

This worksheet involves children thinking of different sources of light and writing them under the respective headings; luminous or non-luminous. They can then also label each source as artificial or natural using the first letter of each. I also have the children draw a small illustration after each. There are two of the worksheets on one A4 page. *The document is fully editable. *

A3 crossword puzzle that reviews different aspects about the topic of light, including light properties, light sources, reflection, shadows etc. Over 25 questions included as well as light related symbols as decoration. Great for pairs to work on as a review of the unit. I usually see how far the children can get without the help of any reference, before letting them use the books or wall displays to help complete it. *The included files are an editable Word Document (in which you can edit the wording of the questions if needs be) and the same document in PDF format. *

This worksheet is a full scientific write-up of a conduction experiment which tests the electrical conduction of different classroom materials. Each part of the scientific method is explained and some parts are partially complete so the children have to fill in the rest. To complete the experiment and write-up, they will need a simple circuit - battery, wires and some sort of small appliance such as a bulb, buzzer or motor. Encourage some creative material choices as they perform the experiment and make sure they write down what material it is made from, for example a metal ruler. Water and water with salt dissolved in it are both interesting substances to hypothesise about and test for conductivity. *The files included in this download are a fully editable DOC and a PDF version of the same. *
