Thank you for looking at my resource. This resource includes a fully comprehensive powerpoint and word resources catering a range of abilities.
This is the final lesson in a sequence .The lesson can be taught independently without the need for the past lessons or the further lessons. This lesson can be picked up and taught straight from however is fully editable.
Children will start by rewind (recapping) on prior learning. Children will actively engage in this by playing a true or false game where they stand if something is true and sit down if something is false. This will cover all of the key learning taught during this unit with a particular focus on thee knowledge that they will directly need to use in this lesson. This will ensure that children have this key knowledge at the forefront of their thinking when exploring their new learning.
To introduce the importance a food chain children will look at a lion. They will think and discuss why every living thing in the food chain is important for the lion.
Children will start by looking at completed food chains and will complete either an independent or guided description of a polar food chain. All children will be encouraged to identify what habitat the food chain is from using their prior learning.
Once children are confident describing a food chain they will move onto creating their own food chain. There will be a helping hands option - a scaffolded support for children who may find drawing and laying out a food chain difficult.
Past/current vocbaulary is explicitly taught and children are reminded of this at suitable and regular opportunties.
Stem sentences are provided throughout to promote oracy and allow children to focus on the science rather than formation of a sentence.
The chilli challenge should be provided to all learners the ’ differentiation ’ will be based on how children complete the task.

Children will start by rewind (recapping) on prior learning. Children will actively engage in this by playing an A-Z game where they go around the class naming living things starting with each letter of the alphabet. Children will also recap on their prior learning of habitats and dependency of living things within a habitat. This will ensure that children have this key knowledge at the forefront of their thinking when exploring their new learning.
Past learning has mostly focused on habitats in children’s local area. Children will start to think about global habitats by discussing how habitats my vary.
Children will explore five main global habitats:
Ocean
Polar
Grasslands
Deserts
Rainforests
Children will using the skill of research to find out about these habitats. Children will use a range of sources which will be explicitly highlighted to children to build up their learning research sources of information. Children will build up their confidence in research. They will have three habitats which will be guided but increasingly involve more from the child than the teacher e.g the first habitat will have the research chart already filled in.
After completing the three guided habitats children will either move onto researching independently the final two habitats or work alongside the teacher.
Past/current vocbaulary is explicitly taught and children are reminded of this at suitable and regular opportunties.

Children will start by rewind (recapping) on prior learning. Children will actively engage in this by reasoning with a partner if a particular picture is living, used to be alive or never been alive.
Children will start to develop an understanding of the key concepts - habitats and dependency by reflecting on their own personal habitats. This will then lead into self reflection and partner discussions on why not all animals live in the same habitat as them.
Children will then learn about a number of animals and why their habitat is important to their survival.
This will lead into children doing their own investigation of the local habitats around school. Children will be explicitly taught about prediction and observation.
After completing these observations the concept of dependency and mutual dependency will be introduced. Children will look at a number of examples and then independently write about an example.
Stem sentences are provided throughout to promote oracy and allow children to focus on the science rather than formation of a sentence.

Children will start by completing a number of quick rewind (recapped) tasks such as which is the odd one out. These will ensure that children have the key prior learning to fully understand this unit, provide a useful assessment of learning for the teacher and put the relevant prior learning/vocabulary in the forefront of children’s mind.
Key recapped learning - Material vs object, definition of animals , types of animals and definition of living things.
Leading on from this children will be introduced to Ethan the explorer. Children will be informed that he thinks everything in a park is a living thing. Children will think and then discuss with a partner whether they agree / disagree with this. Stem sentences are provided to promote oracy and allow children to focus on the science rather than formation of a sentence.
After practicing with a partner children will complete the first independent task which is to identify if items in the park are living or not living .
This will then lead into a discussion about a bench. Is a bench living if its material is wood? Children will look at why a bench’s wood used to be living.
As a class children will discuss which materials used to be alive and which were never alive.
Children will complete the second independent task which is sorting items from a park into living, used to be alive and never been alive.
Children will complete either a independent task or a helping hands task.
The chilli challenge should be provided to all learners the ’ differentiation ’ will be based on how children complete the task.
