2 full lessons with worksheets, visual flipbook and lesson plans 1st Lesson: Air in Soil Learning objective- Children should learn: • that soils have air within them • to recognise whether measurements need to be repeated • to use results to compare the amount of air trapped in different soils 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? 2nd Lesson- Gases in our Environment Learning objectives Children should learn: • that there are a number of common gases that are useful to us in our everyday lives Learning outcomes Children will be able to: • name a number of common gases • state how a number of common gases are used Task:The sheet provides a framework for children to research and collect information about carbon dioxide from secondary sources. Once the information has been recorded in note form, it could be displayed in a leaflet or poster. Leave a review

1 lesson with resources, flipbook and worksheet Lesson: Shadow-Land Learning objectives Children should learn: • that light travels in straight lines • that shadows are cast by objects which obstruct light • that the Sun casts shadows which change as each day progresses Learning outcomes Children will be able to: • explain what causes shadows • explain why shadows cast by sunlight move and change shape and size during a day Task:The activity sheet has the cut-out parts for making a sundial. The children can mark on the dial the position of the shadow cast by the raised part at different times on the next sunny day. It will work better if you stick the sundial onto a card base

Push Me,Pull You Reviewing the effects of pushes and pulls on the movement and shape of objects Learning objectives Children learn: • that pushes and pulls are examples of forces; • that pushes and pulls can cause objects to move,to stop,to change shape. Learning outcomes Children: • describe what they did using words such astwist,squeeze, stretch,pull out and classify actions as pushes or pulls,e.g.stretching is a pull,squeezing is a push.

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.

A review of the topic of forces Taken from LCP Science Resource Files KS2 Learning objectives Children learn/revise: • that pushes and pulls are examples of forces; • that forces are needed to start and stop things and to change their speed and/or direction; • that friction,including air resistance,is a measure of force; • that forces have direction and that they can be measured using a forcemeter; • that the standard unit for measuring force is the newton. Learning outcomes Children: • revisit work on forces from previous years/units. Purpose of the lesson:to review the topic of forces.(This is a quick run-through,to reacquaint the children with the subject,and it is not necessary to go into depth. Comes with lesson plan and worksheets Leave a review

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. Leave a review
