Through doing the interactive activities in this pack, pupils should: * know the difference between pushing and pulling * understand the effects of pushing and pulling on stationary objects * be able to predict what will happen when a toy car is pushed * be able to draw conclusions from an investigation * relate what they have learned to everyday occurrences.

This interactive activity asks the pupils to identify the forces used to move an object. Several examples are given where the force (push, pull or twist) needs to be identified, eg to push a door open. The pupils are then asked to sort a collection of toys into those which are used by pulling or pushing. As a result of this activity the pupils should be able to describe the movement of familiar things, and to know that pushes and pulls are examples of forces. The activity allows for the development of vocabulary, giving the opportunity to introduce the term 'force'.

Through the following activities, pupils will learn: * that when some materials are squashed, pulled, pushed, turned, twisted or stretched the shape of the object will change * that forces affect different materials in different ways * to predict what is likely to happen when different materials are pushed, pulled, stretched or bent * to carry out an investigation based on their predictions and interpret the results.

This inteactive activity is designed to introduce pupils to the idea that some everyday objects need electricity to work. The initial page asks pupils to identify items that use electricity. Subsequent pages ask the pupils to drag electrical items into the room in a house where they might be used. The final page asks pupils to identify objects that need either mains or battery power to work and can be used to initiate discussion on safety (battery being safer than mains).

This interactive activity allows pupils to investigate simple circuits by dragging circuit components into place to make a working circuit. The activities form an introduction to practical work exploring circuits. Pupils have the opportunity to experiment with switches to control components in order to find out that a circuit will not work if there is a break in it.

The resources contain ACTIVstudio2 flipcharts for use with Promethean Whiteboards and also PowerPoint presentations. These are contained within the relevant files. The resources support a study on the properties of materials and food. A brief summary of the resources are outlined below. The MatchFood and MatchMaterials flipcharts highlight the differences between foods and materials respectively as well as providing simple classification exercises. The quizzes flipcharts aim to stimulate further investigations through asking pupils questions of the nature ‘what will happen next?’

This interactive resource contains activities for use in a series of science lessons and as a revision aid. The activities will enable a teacher to: * demonstrate that plants need water and light to grow * conduct a virtual experiment * reinforce pupils' scientific investigation skills.

An interactive resource that introduces children to healthy eating.

Interactive resource Learning objectives: * know and order the months of the year * understand that the year is divided into four distinct seasons * recognise differences in the environment between seasons * observe and record seasonal change * understand that different weather conditions have an effect upon living things A series of interactive whiteboard screens provide pupils with information and activities related to the seasons. The screens provide an opportunity for pupils to observe, question, sort and record.

An interactive resource that teaches children to name parts of the body.

These five flipcharts cover the following topics: • Ourselves • Looking after yourself • Green plants • Grouping materials • Forces and motion.

Eight interactive activities that compliment the Anglesey Red Squirrel Education Pack. The activities are suitable for KS1 and KS2 pupils. They range from labelling the squirrel to recognising leaves. They are designed to enhance the pupil’s learning experience through studying the Red Squirrel in its natural habitat. To order the complete Red Squirrel education pack contact caechwarel@btopenworld.com.

Basic study of living things including classification.

These activities have been made to support all areas of the curriculum from Early Years to Year 6. The activities can stand alone or used as part of an introduction or plenary session. Each activity has teacher guidance notes attached.

A study of minibeasts, using Powerpoint and Smart notebook and worksheets. Other topics covered: Living things; Living things and their environment

This unit looks at minibeasts and may be useful either prior to embarking on work of a practical nature or after a practical session collecting and observing bugs. This activity should not replace the practical task of collecting bugs. The thrill pupils have in first hand observations of live creatures cannot be replicated on a whiteboard screen. Using the resources in this pack, pupils will learn about: * different kinds of animals in the local environment * that animals can be grouped according to observable similarities and differences

This interactive resource helps children identify an animal living in the environment around them, how seasons affect it and how our actions can impact on its life. The resource encourages children to ask and answer questions and consider how they can demonstrate care, responsibility and concern for living things in their area.
