This resource contains a two page assessment based on the ‘Animals, including humans’ series of lessons released by TB_Primary. They will assess pupils’ knowledge of:
Digestion
Teeth in humans
Teeth in animals
Food chains
A mark scheme is included.
These resources contain:
Factfiles for the 8 planets
A blank ‘research’ page for pupils to carry out research
An introductory PowerPoint
By the end of this lesson, pupils should have a secure knowledge of the order of the planets in the solar system, and have had the opportunity to find out a little more about each of the planets.
As part of the ‘research’ section of the lesson, there is an interesting collaborative task, restricting pupils to only half of the planet factfiles, meaning they will need to ‘trade’ information with peers on the other planets, perhaps encouraging them to carry out the most comprehensive research.

This is the 1st lesson in the Year 4 science states of matter topic. It assumes the teacher has prepared some physical examples of everyday solids and liquids beforehand (e.g. vegetable oil, toothpaste, chocolate etc).
In this lesson, pupils will discuss what they think makes a solid, solid and makes a liquid, liquid. They will have the opportunity to place items in the correct places on a venn diagram and share their thoughts. Pupils will be guided to discover the main properties for solids and liquids throughout the lesson.
There is also a short guide on how to make oobleck, a non-newtonian fluid with both solid and liquid properties.
The worksheet consists of 4 tasks, labelled ‘think, try, do, extend’, which pupils should be able to work through independently following the main input using the PowerPoint. There is also a venn diagram/sorting task for pupils to complete to demonstrate their understanding of the properties of solids and liquids.

This is the 2nd lesson in the Year 4 science states of matter topic. It assumes pupils understand how to identify solids and liquids. In this lesson, pupils will carry out a series of practical tasks designed to help them explore and gain a deeper understanding about the properties of, and differences between solids and liquids. They will complete a booklet as they progress through the lesson.
The booklet is designed to be printed on A4 and folded into an 8 page A5 booklet. It consists of 6 ‘challenges’, plus an equipment page and summary page. The equipment required to complete the booklet is detailed below, though could be easily adapted:
A tray
Plastic cup containing 212ml water
Funnel
Empty glass beaker
Glass/plastic measuring cylinder
salt/sugar in a small cup
Empty plastic bottle
Syringe containing some marbles
Syringe containing some water
A solid block

This is the 3rd lesson in the Year 4 science states of matter topic. It assumes prior learning of the properties of solids and liquids. In this lesson, pupils will explore melting and freezing points using a variety of everyday objects (ice, chocolate, wax). They will consider how ‘heat energy’ is either added or removed to cause the change of state and be able to draw simple diagrams to show the changes are physical (reversible). Pupils will also begin to appreciate the fact that different materials have different melting points.
The worksheet consists of 4 tasks, labelled ‘think, try, do, extend’, which pupils should be able to work through independently following the main input using the PowerPoint. There is also a cutting/sticking/matching task for pupils to complete to demonstrate their understanding of melting/solidifying.
