I made this PowerPoint to teach the Year 3 Light and Shadows unit. It contains enough learning objectives for a full half term and activities for each lesson.

A look at the different teeth and skulls of herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. The skulls on the sheet are (from top to bottom): Horse (Herbivore - Flat molars for grinding plants) Rabbit (Herbivore - Sharp canines for nibbling) Wolf (Carnivore - Pointed canines and incisors) Sealion (Omnivore - Eats fish and plants - Flat molars and pointed canines). The children wrote information about each picture in the speech bubbles: 'I have flat molars for grinding plants', etc.

A quick and simple science investigation to show how plants use water. Just cut the end off a piece of celery and pop it in some red or blue food colouring - Eventually, the celery will have a red or blue tint as it absorbs the colouring, particularly on the end. We left it over the weekend to ensure nice bright results, but overnight would probably work too.
