Light is electromagnetic radiation which is visible to the human eye. In this lesson, students will learn about how shadows are made and will investigate whether the distance or angle of a light source effects the size of the shadow made by an object. They will be supported in this experiment and will create a line graph to show their results. Finally they will create their own shadow puppet performance.
This lesson is intended for Year 6 students but can easily be modified to suit lower KS2 and KS3.

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 what electricity is and how it is measured. They will learn about electrical circuits- looking at the symbols for electrical components as well as how to draw circuits. They will design and construct circuits both manually and using online platforms, as well as repairing circuits which have problems.
By the end of the lesson, students will understand how an electrical current travels around a circuit and how electrical components work.

Microorganisms are small organisms invisible to the naked eye because of their extremely small size. They are grouped into various groups like Bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses. Many of these organisms are useful to human and nature while some are harmful and even cause diseases.
In this lesson, students will learn about the 5 different types of microorganisms: fungi, bacteria, algae, viruses and protozoa. They will watch videos which explain their dangers but also their uses and they will tasked to determine which is helpful and harmful from the examples given.
Following this, they will carry out an experiment looking at the conditions which cause mould to grow on bread. The experiment investigation sheet is provided.
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.

In this lesson students will work towards the objective: use the idea of the Earth’s rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky.
They will first learn about how our understanding of day and night has changed over time before understanding the science behind the suns ‘apparent’ movement across the sky. They will also learn how sundials work before explaining what they have learnt on the activity sheet. They will then learn about the seasons and the science behind the concentration of the sun’s energy on the Earth’s surface. They will be taught how this links to time zones and again will explain their understanding through the activity sheet.
