A mechanism is a device which takes an input motion or force, and outputs a different motion and force. In this lesson, students will learn about different mechanisms such as pulleys, gears and levers. They will see how each works in everyday life and learn the science behind them. They will be asked to identify which mechanism from the images and will complete a quiz mid-way through to check understanding. They will then carry out an experiment creating their own levers before designing their own machines using what they have learnt. The activity sheets are provided which guide them through this process. This lesson is 1/6 lessons on Forces.

In this lesson, students will learn that there are two types of reproduction in plants: sexual and asexual. They will learn about the life cycle of plants that reproduce sexually looking at pollination, fertilisation, seed dispersal and germination. They will also learn the different parts of flowering plants and will dissect a flowering plant using the guide to help them. They will then look at asexual reproduction in plants through tubers, runners and bulbs. They will consider the advantages and disadvantages with both. They will be quizzed throughout the lesson for retrieval and will then complete an activity sheet which will question their understanding. A knowledge organiser for the unit is included. This lesson is 1/5 on Living Things and Their Habitats, Year 5. To view the other lessons, please visit: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/ResourcesForYou/Primary science

In this lesson students will work towards the objective: use the idea of the Earth’s rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky. They will first learn about how our understanding of day and night has changed over time before understanding the science behind the suns ‘apparent’ movement across the sky. They will also learn how sundials work before explaining what they have learnt on the activity sheet. They will then learn about the seasons and the science behind the concentration of the sun’s energy on the Earth’s surface. They will be taught how this links to time zones and again will explain their understanding through the activity sheet. The engaging presentation- with links to online video clips and the activity sheets 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 learn about the adult and late adulthood stages of the human life cycle. They will learn that adults are fully developed and stop growing before looking in detail at how as humans age, many of the body systems gradually decline leading to the changes we see in elderly people. They will be given detailed information about these changes which they will read and complete related questions. Finally, they will complete a true or false quiz to assess their understanding. A knowledge organiser for Animals including Humans is included. This lesson is 1/5 on Animals including Humans.

Water resistance is a force that tries to slow things down that are moving through water. It is a type of friction and sometimes called drag. In this lesson, students will learn what water resistance is and how it affects us. They will learn about streamlining and how we make things streamlined in order to reduce water resistance. They will also learn about upthrust and how this enables boats to float. They will complete a quiz mid-way through to check understanding. They will then carry out an experiment to investigate how the shape of aluminum foil affects how it behaves in water. The experiment worksheet is provided as well as an explanation into the reasons behind this. This lesson is 1/6 lessons on Forces.

In this lesson, students will learn about the harmful effects of drugs, alcohol and smoking. They will learn that some drugs, such as prescription drugs, can be helpful if taken in the appropriate quantity. They will look at the side effects of drugs, alcohol and smoking in detail and will be quizzed on what they have learnt. Finally, they will create their own informative leaflets (scaffold provided) using their new knowledge. A knowledge organiser for the unit is included. This lesson is 1/6 on Animals including Humans for Year 6. To view the other lessons, please visit: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/ResourcesForYou/Primary science

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. 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 learn that reproduction means to have babies or offspring and every animal, including humans, reproduce and have offspring. They will recap the six animal groups and look at characteristics of each before looking at how each group reproduces and comparing between. They will be quizzed on their understanding and knowledge retained before being tasked to write their own script for a nature programme which they can then record using what they have learnt. This lesson is 1/5 on Living Things and Their Habitats, Year 5. To view the other lessons, please visit: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/ResourcesForYou/Primary science

In this lesson, students will learn about the baby, toddler and child stage of the human life cycle. They will be tasked to observe younger children in their school setting and give recommendations of how to support development using what they have learnt from the lesson and caregivers. Finally, they will create a leaflet for new parents on what to expect from their children age 0-10 and how they can help support development. This lesson is 1/5 on Animals including Humans.

In this lesson, students will learn that there are three parts of the circulatory system: the heart, blood vessels and blood. They will learn details about the function of each and how they work together. Through a video and online resource, they can explore more and will be quizzed on the information they have learnt. They will then label the circulatory system using the knowledge they have learnt and complete the written description. Answers are provided. This lesson is 1/6 on Animals including Humans for Year 6.
