A weekly homelearning task for primary pupils of any age, so that siblings can work together. Differentiated outcome for younger and older years. Each task is based on a different type of scientific enquiry.

Do taller trees have larger leaves? Do deciduous trees live for longer? Tree investigation for KS1/2. Use the cards to collect data about leaf size, tree height, life span, deciduous/evergreen. Pupils can then answer their own comparative questions and display results in a graph. Great for schools without access to trees to use.

A type of knowledge organiser, that I use as a start of topic page. Pupils self-assess prior knowledge then highlight end of topic learning once they are confident. Around the outside they add the definitions of the key scientific vocabulary once they learn them.

A topic page / knowledge organiser for each topic in yr 3 science. Pupils can highlight statements once they are confident. Add new words that they learn. I also print this in A5 then get pupils to fill the rest of their page with facts they are learnt, questions they have, memory tricks etc, to create their own knowledge organiser. See my blog where I explain in detail how I utilise these to assess and help pupils retain knowledge: https://science4primary.wordpress.com/2020/04/27/whats-the-deal-with-knowledge-organisers/

Science investigation planning / write up template for pupils to complete when doing investigations. Colour-coded to match teaching slides and aid understanding of each section.

A second batch of weekly homelearning tasks for primary pupils (summer term). One task for the whole school, differentiated by outcome so that siblings can work together. Few if any resources required. Optional challenge task and brief description of the science used in the real world.

A Year 1 investigation to compare body parts. Can be followed up by comparing own body parts eg.Height = outstretched arms, Foot = forearm

An activity for yr 3 to use data loggers to find out how dark shadows are. Pupils use the template to record their findings, before arranging from darkest to lightest. Aimed for use with Vu+ data loggers.

A few activities to laminate and put in a playground box, for pupils to run science activities during playtime.

An A6 logbook leaflet for pupils to keep all their passwords in one place and fit in their school pocket. On the back includes a SMART internet useage poster. Print on A4 paper/card Fold along horizontal line Stick blank pages together Fold along veritcal line Fill in logbook.

A 3 step guide to support daily 15minute long OT interventions for pupils. Moving from Alerting to Organising to Calming, pupils select a couple of activities to complete in 5min, before moving to the next box. Colour coded to help guide pupil through session.
