This resource contains a table (teacher version and cloze exercise) with facts about planets in our solar system. Students can either research the missing information or a teacher-led discussion could help to complete the answers. Additional uses for this resource could be the basis of a larger research project or investigation, a comparison between planets or a method of discovering patterns in the planet properties. A further use could be to incorporate this table as part of a data analysis task. Due to the wide range of uses this worksheet could be used for all Years in Key Stage 3.

Designed as an introduction to measurements in Science, this PowerPoint begins by familiarising students with length, the units and instruments used to measure it. There are some activities described such as measuring lengths of objects and how to measure the thickness of a piece of paper. This is designed for students in their first year (7) of post-primary education, but could also be used with those in the later stages of primary school.
