There is a demonstration of C Major showing the tones and semi tones with two further activities building G major and finally D Major.
Scales are built up step by step showing clearly on the keyboard diagram and reinforcing the tone and semitone steps.
This is intended to be simple and straightforward as an introduction to major scales.
I have used this for both Key Stage 3 and 4.
