Air resistance is a force that is caused by air. The force acts in the opposite direction to an object moving through the air. It is a type of friction. In this lesson, students will learn what air resistance is and how it affects us. They will learn about Galileo Galilei who first investigated air resistance and how without air, objects with the same mass will fall at the same rate. They will learn about streamlining in order to minimise surface area and they will complete a quiz mid-way to check understanding. They will then carry out two experiments- 1) paper drop test 2) investigating how the size of a canopy affects the rate of a parachute’s decent. Sheets are provided for the experiments along with an interactive presentation and useful knowledge organiser. This lesson is 1/6 lessons on Forces.

A microorganism is a living thing that is too small to be seen with the naked eye. Examples of microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, algae, protozoa and fungi. In this lesson, students will learn about the 5 different types of microorganisms and how they behave. They will complete a matching activity: matching the microorganism with its information and will further investigate them through links to scientific websites online provided. They will then write a non-chronological report on what they have learnt (proformas provided) and will finally create their own microbe character to write a ‘Lonely Hearts’ add for, for fun. This is an engaging lesson which comes with an interactive power point presentation and all corresponding activity worksheets. It is designed for Year 6 but could easily be modified to suit lower KS2 and KS3. This lesson is 1/5 lessons on Living Things & Their Habitats.

In this lesson, students will learn that there are three parts of the circulatory system: the heart, blood vessels and blood. They will learn about the structure and function of the heart in detail through engaging PowerPoint slides, video clip and an online resource. They will be quizzed on the information they have learnt. There is also an optional link to an activity on dissecting a sheep’s heart before they label a heart and use arrows to show the direction of blood flow. Finally, they will be tasked to create their own script for an animation voice over similar to the YouTube clip watched which they can then use different platforms to record and edit their video. A knowledge organiser for the unit is included. This lesson is 1/6 on Animals including Humans for Year 6.

In this lesson, students will work towards the objective: To identify key facts about the planets in our solar system. They will be introduced to the eight planets and learn key facts about each one including which are the gas planets and which are rocky planets. They will learn about asteroids and comets and will complete their own independent research task on each planet in terms of key features. The presentation- with links to online video clips and planet research 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.

A force is a push or pull that causes a change in speed, direction or shape. Some forces are affected by speed, other forces are not. All forces come in pairs, no force exists by itself. In this lesson, students are introduced to what a force is and how the affect us. They look at examples of magnetism, air & water resistance, friction and upthrust. The interactive powerpoint shows how the forces work through diagrams and videos. The students then complete the activity sheet labelling the forces and drawing their own diagrams. This lesson is 1/6 lessons on Forces.

Gravity or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy, including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another. In this lesson, students will be taught what gravity is and how it affects us and how it is different in space. They will learn about Sir Isaac Newton and how weight is different to mass. They will then carry out two experiments- in the first experiment they will measure objects with scales and a newton meter in order to show the difference between weight and mass. After this, they will compare the mass and speed of falling objects to investigate whether the heavier an object, the faster it falls. Both investigations come with a worksheet to follow.

Electricity is a type of energy that can build up in one place or flow from one place to another. Electricity is the flow of electrons. In this lesson, students will learn about electricity and its potential dangers. They will learn where electricity comes from and how it is measured. They will look at electrical safety and the appropriate measures to take when around electricity. Finally they will design a poster warning of the dangers of electricity and giving safety tips.
