Lesson Objective: to explore the effect of magnets on each other and on certain materials.
Learning objectives Children learn: • that there are forces between magnets; • that magnets can attract and repel each other,and that ���attract’ means pull towards and ‘repel’ means push away; • that some metals are attracted to magnets,and that other materials are not; • that magnets have many practical uses.
Learning outcomes Children: • given a magnet of unfamiliar shape,or with unlabelled ends, demonstrate how it is attracted to,or repelled by,another magnet;
• generalise about what happens when magnets are put near one another or together,using scientific terms,e.g.attract,repel;
• classify a range of materials, including metals as magnetic or non-magnetic,and explain how their work enabled them to do this;
• make a generalisation about magnetic behaviour,e.g.iron is magnetic but other metals are not; materials that are not metals are not magnetic;only some metals are magnetic.

WALT • Read and follow a text about the life cycle of a plant. • Know what a glossary is.
This long lesson links to the topic of plants and how they grow by introducing the children to a variety of seeds. It may be preferable to spread the lesson over two sessions, using the Glossary activities on the second day. Children will complete an investigative study, which will form the basis upon which they will learn how to read and compose explanatory texts.

2 Lessons with worksheets, lesson plans and flip book.
1st Lesson
Learning objectives
Children should learn: • that plants need water but not unlimited water, for healthy growth • to use results to draw conclusions
Learning outcomes
Children will be able to: • state that plants need water to grow but too much or too little water may kill them • describe differences in the way the plants grew
Lesson centered around an investigation to find out how the amount of water a runner bean seedling is given affects how much it grows.
2nd Lesson
Learning objectives
Children should learn: • to suggest how a fair test could be carried out • that in experiments with living things, using just one plant in each set of conditions does not give sufficient evidence
Learning outcomes
Children will be able to: • recognise the correct order in which to undertake a simple investigation • describe factors that contribute to the test being fair • suggest why one sample may not be adequate in each set of conditions
Science lesson centered around an investigation- Does soil type affect the height to which seedlings grow?

Learning outcomes
Children will be able to: • state that soils have air within them • state why measurements need to be repeated • make comparisons between samples from a set of data
Task: Ask the children to investigate which soil they think will contain the most air and why?

Lesson 1: This activity should be used to focus on considering and analysing evidence, rather than planning an investigation. However, it can also be used before the children carry out an investigation of their own to provide them with a good structure for setting up their own tests
Lesson 1: Learning objectives
Children should learn:
• that plants need water but not unlimited water, for
healthy growth
• to use results to draw conclusions
Lesson 1: Learning outcomes
Children will be able to:
• state that plants need water to grow but too much
or too little water may kill them
• describe differences in the way the plants grew
Lesson 2: This activity is intended to support children in their understanding of how simple investigations are planned. Begin the lesson by asking the children to recall any investigations that they have done and the stages of planning that they went through.
Lesson 2: Learning objectives
Children should learn:
• to suggest how a fair test could be carried out
• that in experiments with living things, using just
one plant in each set of conditions does not give
sufficient evidence
Lesson 2: Learning outcomes
Children will be able to:
• recognise the correct order in which to undertake
a simple investigation
• describe factors that contribute to the test
being fair
• suggest why one sample may not be adequate in
each set of conditions

2 Full lessons includes lesson plans, worksheets and visual aids.
1st Lesson: Learning objectives
Children should learn: • that the Earth is approximately spherical • that it can be difficult to collect evidence to test ideas and that evidence may be indirect
Learning outcomes
Children will be able to: • recognise that the Earth is approximately spherical • describe some indirect evidence to support the idea that the Earth is spherical
The task: the children to use different coloured pens to outline/underline the various factors that are listed below (these will need to be written on a board). • Factual information • Evidence that supports the theory that the Earth is spherical • Opinion of the author
2nd Lesson: Learning objectives
Children should learn: • that the Moon takes approximately 28 days to orbit the Earth • that the different appearance of the Moon over 28 days provides evidence for a 28 day cycle
Learning outcomes
Children will be able to: • explain that the pattern and timescale of the changes in the Moon’s appearance over 28 days is evidence that the Moon orbits the Earth once every 28 days
The task: Ask the children to cut out and arrange the pictures and names of the phases of the Moon in the correct sequence around a representation of the Earth. This will show how the appearance of the Moon changes over the course of its orbit.
