In this lesson, students will learn all about what happens in the womb during gestation. They will learn about fertilisation and how the foetus develops in the womb. They will look at each month of pregnancy specifically, understanding key developments and comparing to the size of a fruit or vegetable for easy understanding! They will be quizzed on their learning throughout. For the tasks, they will have to match up the descriptions of development with the month of gestation before then writing an overview of pregnancy for an expecting mother. Finally, they will look at gestation periods of different animals. A knowledge organiser for Animals including Humans is included. This lesson is 1/5 on Animals including Humans.

In this lesson, students will learn the key stages of the human life cycle- prenatal, baby & child, adolescent & puberty, adult & old age. They will learn key information about each stage and be quizzed on this at the end. Their task will then be to create a timeline using the key facts learnt to begin the topic.

A knowledge organiser to support teaching and revision of the unit.

In this lesson, students will recap on the key areas of Properties and Changes of Materials using the PowerPoint slides and will look at testable questions they can investigate in their own experiments. They will be guided how to plan and carry out an experiment into one of these questions and how to draw conclusions from their results. This lesson is one of 6 lessons on Properties and Changes of Materials. To view the other lessons, please visit: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/ResourcesForYou/Primary science

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 that a mixture is a combination of two or more substances that aren’t chemically joined and can be separated back into their individual substances. They will learn that there are two types of mixtures: heterogeneous and homogeneous and will look at examples of each. They will then look at how these mixtures can be separated before completing a quiz on what they have learnt. Following this, they will carry out 3 investigations of separating mixtures. They will follow the experiment proforma to help them organise, record and analyse their observations before discussing their experiments as a class.

In this lesson, students will learn what dissolving is including terminology such as solution, solute and solvent. They will learn how to differentiate between dissolving and melting and will complete a quiz on what they have learnt. They will test materials for their solubility by dissolving them in water following the experiment proforma before analysing and presenting their results.

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. This lesson is one of 6 lessons on Properties and Changes of Materials. To view the other lessons, please visit: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/ResourcesForYou/Primary science

In this lesson, students will look at what the properties of materials are e.g. hard, waterproof, reflective, electronically conductive. They will watch an engaging video displaying this and will carry out their own tests on various materials following the experiment sheet. A list of equipment required is detailed as well as example experiments that can be used to test the various materials for their properties. They will record their observations and then look at what materials would be best to suit certain properties suggested. This lesson is one of 6 lessons on Properties and Changes of Materials.

A knowledge organiser for the topic.

In this lesson students will learn what inheritance is and how the differences between us is due to inherited traits and variation. They will consider acquired and inherited traits and will organise example traits accordingly. They will try to identify inherited traits in images and will draw different versions of a puppy taking different features from their parents. By the end of the lesson students will have a good understanding of genetic diversity. A knowledge organiser for Evolution and Inheritance is included.

In this lesson students will learn how plants and animals have evolved over time according to natural selection of evolution. They will look at some examples of adaptive traits of plants and animals and will come up with their own. They will also create their own plant and animal they believe would be well suited to the habitats shown. They will consider Darwin’s contribution to this knowledge and how humans have evolved over time. A knowledge organiser for Evolution and Inheritance is included.

In this lesson students will learn about Darwin’s theory of evolution and how it can be explained through natural selection. They will watch an engaging video clip, look at the example of the peppered moth and Darwin’s finches on his voyage aboard the HMS Beagle. They will then investigate Darwin’s theory derived from finches by experimenting with different beak types collecting different food. They will consider how this showed that successful animals adapt to their environment. By the end of the lesson they will have been able to demonstrate the theory of natural selection!

In this lesson students will learn who Charles Darwin was, looking at his early life and career choices, his journey on the HMS Beagle and his findings in the Galapagos Islands. They will be tasked to complete the biography of Charles Darwin using what they have learnt and to write a letter to a friend detailing his discoveries.

In this lesson students will learn what a fossil is and what the stages of the fossilisation process are. They will draw each stage before looking at The Fossil Record and answering questions on the different eras and periods. They will learn about Darwin’s involvement in fossils and will how they prove evolution today. They will also learn about Mary Anning by watching an informative video clip and with support from the worksheet, will present what they have learnt. By the end of this lesson, students will have a good understanding of how fossils evidence evolution and are studied today. This lesson is 1/5 on Evolution and Inheritance.
