A simple fun science remembering panel which can be used as an easy starter for any year group. Give the students 5 minutes to remember as many of the pairs as possible. Change to slide 3. Clicking the number tile will reveal what is underneath - to reset this if they incorrectly answer go back to slide 2.

A self-explanatory lesson detailing the rock cycle. Scaffolded questions and various question styles mean all learners will be able to access the work. Filler tasks are available at the end of the PPT.

A self-explanatory lesson explaining the process of recycling materials and why people are choosing to recycle. Scaffolded questions are used to ensure all learners can access the material.

A simple and fun competitive snap game using scientific terminology matched with pictures. PPT can be presented to the entire class for a whole class session, or can be printed and cut for team games - there will always be a snap between 2 cards but the students need to find and identify the correct scientific key word. The students who calls out the key word first wins the round. Key words included are: Units, DNA, Bunsen burner, Tripod, Beaker, Gauze, Heat mat, Measuring cylinder, Safety glasses, Repeatability, Dissolving, Melt, Solidify, Evaporate, forceps, solid, Liquid, gas, reaction, reproductive system, microscope, pH, Periodic table, pipette, carbohydrate, fat, protein, test tube, lab coat, kinetic energy, sound energy, gravitational potential energy, atom, thermometer, cell, digestive, system, Electrical energy, circulatory system, electron, respiratory system, nervous system, litmus paper, skeleton, photosynthesis, light energy. Excellent as a settling activity or starter / interim activity.
