Paper planes are fun to make and fly, so they make a great activity for learning about the science behind flight. This pack contains experiments that illustrate the forces of flight in action, and an interactive visual aid so students can see the forces that act on a plane in a hands-on way. These activities are cross-curricular as measurement skills are used to record how far the planes fly, and students determine the best unit of measurement. For younger students, the experiment asks them to record distance using their steps. Teaching points are included along with recommended websites to help explain the concepts. What’s included? Experiment for younger students: use a light and strong throw to see how it affects the distance the plane flies (measuring using their steps) Experiment to plan and carry out a test to show how wings are needed to create lift, and how thrust is needed to make a plane move Experiment to show how the strength of a throw affects the distance, and use observations and measurements to predict what would happen with more throws Experiment to show how drag/air resistance affects a plane with and without flaps Visual directions to make a simple dart airplane, but students may know other designs they could use Interactive notebook activity, visual directions Teaching points Useful websites U.K and U.S versions included Editable version (text is editable, images/layout aren’t) 15 pages included. You will receive a PDF and PPTX file.

This craft and wall mural is going to look fantastic in your classroom, and children are going to love making it! With such a stunning visual display, this event in history is sure to stick in their memories! There are six different house designs for children to choose from, with one, two, or three storeys. Each house comes in 2-4 parts for children to colour and glue together. Then they use tissue, crepe, or coloured paper to add flames. Each child makes one house to contribute to the wall mural. When the houses are all finished, they make a display that’s 4 metres long! There are also signs, and shop labels, as well as a display heading. I’ve also included a smaller, individual version for children to make their own “Pudding Lane” instead of a class mural, with six houses to colour, cut, and glue onto paper in any order. Visual instructions are included, although it’s very easy to make. I hope your children enjoy recreating the Great Fire of London on Pudding Lane!

Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s painting of “Children’s Games” is one of the best primary sources I’ve come across that give us a little glimpse into the games children played in the past. The painting “Children’s Games” depicted life in the Netherlands in the 1560s. There are over 250 children playing 83 different games. With this activity, in pairs or small groups, children look at a corner of the painting and find the games on a list. They then identify if the game is still played nowadays, and they make guesses about how to play an unfamiliar game in the painting. It’s a fabulous way to bring history alive, with such a relatable topic, and it gets children using a primary source to gather and analyse information from the past.
