Identifying sources of light

(6)
Pupils should be able to name a selection of light sources, including the sun, and identify some of the uses of light in the environment. The first two parts of the activity asks pupils to sort a collection of items into those which are sources of light and those which are not. The rest of the activity deals with uses of light in the environment, asking pupils to identify the source of light in a picture and to say what the light is used for.

Pushes and pulls introduction

(1)
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.
Indentifying forces
NGfLCymruNGfLCymru

Indentifying forces

(0)
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'.
Changing the shape of materials
NGfLCymruNGfLCymru

Changing the shape of materials

(0)
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.
Using electricity

Using electricity

(2)
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).
Electrical circuits

Electrical circuits

(5)
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.
