In this lesson, students will work towards the objective: To understand how space travel has progressed and how rockets work. They will look at how space travel has progressed over time through the timeline slides and will be quizzed on what they have learnt. Following this, they will learn how rockets are made and how they work in great detail through videos and text. Finally, they will be supported in creating their own rockets from film containers to practically see the science in action! The engaging presentation- with links to online video clips and an experiment sheet are all provided. A knowledge organiser for Earth & Space is also included. This lesson is intended for Year 5 students but can easily be modified for all KS2 and KS3 students. This lesson is 1/6 lessons on Earth & Space.

In this lesson, students will look at examples of reversible physical changes and irreversible chemical changes involving reactants and products. They will categorise different changes accordingly and will learn what indicators to look for to determine whether something is an irreversible change. Using the experiment proforma sheet, they will carry out four different irreversible change experiments and will discuss their observations before being given scientific explanations for each. Finally, they will carry out a quiz on what they have learnt. This lesson is one of 6 lessons on Properties and Changes of Materials.

In this lesson, students will learn about thermal conductors and insulators. They will learn what materials are thermally conductive and how they are used to help us e.g. radiators. They will look at how the particles behave in thermally conductive materials and using a thermocolour sheet will carry out tests on various materials. They will also learn about thermal insulators and again will look at how they are used to help us e.g. flasks. They will plan and carry out an experiment testing which material is best to use to insulate hot water and, using the experiment proforma sheet, will record their results and analyse their findings.
