If you are looking for a fun Science lesson on Non Newtonian Fluids or just as a stand alone lesson for the end of the school year, look no further - in this PowerPoint lesson children are invited to work for the Science Department of a Secret Intelligence Agency to make and investigate the properties of a mysterious substance called L.O.S.S. that can behave like a liquid and a solid (aka Oobleck ). A differentiated recording sheet and a response letter from the SIA agent with the information on Non Newtonian Fluids also included. The PowerPoint consists of 11 slides, including cover and credits. Most text is editable so that you could customise it to the needs of your class.

KS2 Science PowerPoint Lesson and worksheets on water transport in plants. This is the third lesson in a series of Year 3 Science lessons on Plants. Corresponds to the Year 3 Science statutory requirements: investigate the way in which water is transported within plants. 18 pages including the front cover and Hoppy Times terms and conditions. In this lesson, students learn the meaning of the plant water transport system; learn to explain how water travels through the xylem tubes of a plant in the process called capillary action; predict and discuss why water is important to each part of a plant; they are also encouraged to make up a dance to explain how the water transport in plants works. Resources needed for the lesson: PowerPoint (included); differentiated worksheets (1 per student); celery stalks cut into smaller pieces for observation of xylem. Independent worksheets included (differentiated 3 ways). The PowerPoint text is editable, making it easier to customise and tailor to the needs of your class.

KS2 Science PowerPoint Lesson and worksheets on parts of a flower, pollination and fertilisation. This is the fourth lesson in a series of Year 3 Science lessons on Plants. Corresponds to the Year 3 Science statutory requirements: explore the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed formation and seed dispersal. Can also be used in Year 5 : describe the life process of reproduction in some plants and animals. 17 pages including the front cover and Hoppy Times terms and conditions. In this lesson, students learn about the main parts of a flower (petals, sepals, pistil, stigma with anthers, etc.) and their functions. This is an opportunity for the students to learn about the flower parts as they dissect them. I recommend using daffodils, lillies or tulips. A couple of paper flowers are also included for cutting out if live flowers are not available. Students also learn about the processes of pollination and fertilisation. The PowerPoint is provided with explanations, video links, interactive activities and a plenary. Also included are differentiated dissection mats - the idea is for the student to remove the flower parts and put them in correct places on the mat. They can then be secured by sticky back plastic or tape. Bonus - Flower Parts Poster and 3 labelling worksheets (differentiated).
