Differentiated sheets enabling pupils to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of all the changes of state.

This lesson sequence encourages pupils to: Consider different ways to group organisms Use a venn diagram to group organisms Find out who Carl Linnaeus was and why he is important Learn about the Linnaean system of classification for animals Learn how vertebrates are grouped Learn how invertebrates are grouped The resources included are: 5 lists of organisms (10 per list, grouped to enable scientific thinking regarding how to group the organisms in each list) Worksheet pg1, beginning with simple recall tasks to do with Carl Linnaeus, as well as identifying vertebrates/invertebrates and their subgroups (i.e. mammals, reptiles, crustaceans etc) Worksheet pg 2, encouraging pupils to use their knowledge of the characteristics of different groups to create their own vertebrate and invertebrate. Also, an extension task asking pupils to research the differences between 2 similar species (i.e. bees and wasps) Templates for venn diagrams (A single circled venn and a double circled venn) A great introduction to the living things and habitats topic for pupils.

This is the fifth lesson in our states of matter series. It can be used as a standalone lesson, or as part of the wider unit. This lesson pack contains: A PowerPoint enabling pupils to: Plan and carry out a full scientific investigation into how temperature affects the rate of evaporation. Explore evaporation as a concept and learn what causes evaporation Consider real life examples of evaporation in action A 2 page investigation template is also included enabling pupils to scaffold their investigation plan.

This is an end of unit assessment to support our ‘states of matter’ topic. It is intended for use with our 7 lesson sequence, though could be used as a standalone assessment. It tests: Identifying solids and liquids Changes of state Properties of gas The water cycle Answers are included.

This lesson pack contains: A PowerPoint enabling pupils to: Identify different gases Explore and discuss the properties of gases Compare the properties of gas with that of solids and liquids A worksheet using the terms ‘think, try, do, extend’ containing 4 activities for pupils to work through independently, designed to enable them to show their knowledge and understanding of the key concepts covered within the lesson. This is the 4th lesson in the States of matter topic.

This resource is part of the Year 5 science Earth & Space topic. It assumes some prior learning of orbits and rotations in relation to the Earth, moon and sun. Within this lesson, pupils can create a simple ‘orrery’, which they can use to demonstrate and deepen their understanding of the orbital periods of the earth and moon. PowerPoint contains a short introduction, then step by step photos and instructions, as well as a task using their completed orreries. Also contains the actual template for use in making the orrery. Best printed onto A3 card, but can also be printed on paper and backed onto card. Tags - KS2 Year 5 Year 4 Year 3 Year 6 Science Earth & Space Orbits Orrery Earth Moon Sun
