Year 1 Science: Animals, including humans: Omnivores

This Year 1 science resource helps children to identify and name a variety of common animals, with a particular focus on omnivores. Children will learn useful topic-related words, be posed interesting questions (Think-lets), follow highly structured teaching slides (Teach-lets) about omnivores, their names and features and have their scientific knowledge and understanding assessed throughout (Quiz-lets).

This resource provides 5 increasingly difficult challenges. Easier challenges ask children to complete sentences about omnivores, moderate challenges ask children to identify and name omnivores and those animals that are not omnivores, and harder challenges ask children to reason about omnivores and other animals through an engaging game of ‘Guess Who?’ before they create their own omnivore. All answers are provided.

‘Common Animals - Omnivores’ can be explored through this exciting, engaging and original resource. It will give you the tools to teach with focus and confidence, knowing your pupils will successfully develop essential scientific knowledge and skills.

This bundle includes:

• ‘Useful Words’ with supporting images and written explanations.
