Lesson Objective: to explore the effect of magnets on each other and on certain materials. Learning objectives Children learn: • that there are forces between magnets; • that magnets can attract and repel each other,and that ‘attract’ means pull towards and ‘repel’ means push away; • that some metals are attracted to magnets,and that other materials are not; • that magnets have many practical uses. Learning outcomes Children: • given a magnet of unfamiliar shape,or with unlabelled ends, demonstrate how it is attracted to,or repelled by,another magnet; • generalise about what happens when magnets are put near one another or together,using scientific terms,e.g.attract,repel; • classify a range of materials, including metals as magnetic or non-magnetic,and explain how their work enabled them to do this; • make a generalisation about magnetic behaviour,e.g.iron is magnetic but other metals are not; materials that are not metals are not magnetic;only some metals are magnetic.

A review of the topic of forces Taken from LCP Science Resource Files KS2 Learning objectives Children learn/revise: • that pushes and pulls are examples of forces; • that forces are needed to start and stop things and to change their speed and/or direction; • that friction,including air resistance,is a measure of force; • that forces have direction and that they can be measured using a forcemeter; • that the standard unit for measuring force is the newton. Learning outcomes Children: • revisit work on forces from previous years/units. Purpose of the lesson:to review the topic of forces.(This is a quick run-through,to reacquaint the children with the subject,and it is not necessary to go into depth. Comes with lesson plan and worksheets Leave a review

2 full lessons includes lesson plans resources and flipbook. 1st lesson: Learning objectives Children should learn: • that humans grow and change as they become older Learning Outcome: Children will be able to: • sequence pictures of people from youngest to oldest, giving reasons for their choices Children look at different stages of a humans life from baby to the elderly 2nd Lesson Learning objective: Children should learn: • that there are differences between humans • to collect and organise data and present it in a chart Learning outcomes Children will be able to: • count how many children have a particular feature and represent this information in a chart • interpret the chart Children create block graphs to focus on the similarities and difference of physical apperances. Such as ‘brown eyes’ and ‘blonde hair’ Leave a review

Fun-engaging lesson that can easily be done at home. 1st lesson: Learning objectives Children should learn: • that plants provide food for humans Learning outcomes Children will be able to: • state that humans eat some plants 2nd Lesson Learning objectives Children should learn: • that there are different plants in the environment • to make observations of one or two plants and of where they grow and to communicate these Learning outcomes Children will be able to: • name some common plants • describe where some common plants grow Leave a review

2 Full lessons includes lesson plans, worksheets and visual aids. 1st Lesson: Learning objectives Children should learn: • that the Earth is approximately spherical • that it can be difficult to collect evidence to test ideas and that evidence may be indirect Learning outcomes Children will be able to: • recognise that the Earth is approximately spherical • describe some indirect evidence to support the idea that the Earth is spherical The task: the children to use different coloured pens to outline/underline the various factors that are listed below (these will need to be written on a board). • Factual information • Evidence that supports the theory that the Earth is spherical • Opinion of the author 2nd Lesson: Learning objectives Children should learn: • that the Moon takes approximately 28 days to orbit the Earth • that the different appearance of the Moon over 28 days provides evidence for a 28 day cycle Learning outcomes Children will be able to: • explain that the pattern and timescale of the changes in the Moon’s appearance over 28 days is evidence that the Moon orbits the Earth once every 28 days The task: Ask the children to cut out and arrange the pictures and names of the phases of the Moon in the correct sequence around a representation of the Earth. This will show how the appearance of the Moon changes over the course of its orbit. Leave a review

2 full lessons with Flipbook, Worksheet and Resources Learning objectives Children should learn: • to recognise and identify a range of common materials • to consider why particular materials are used to make items Learning outcomes Children will be able to: • say whether some objects are made of plastic, wood, metal or rock • say why an item might be made with a particular material Lesson centered around grouping objects of the same material Learning objectives Children should learn: • about some properties of common materials such as hardness and transparency Learning outcomes Children will be able to: • state one or two characteristics of a range of common materials Prompts children to consider some properties of a set of objects and to read information from their tables.

2 full lessons with resources, flipbook and worksheets 1st lesson: Learning objectives Children should learn: • that rocks and natural materials are chosen for particular purposes because of their characteristics Learning outcomes Children will be able to: • relate the use of some rocks and natural materials to their characteristics and say why they are used Lesson focuses on describing the use of material in buildings. Do you recognise this building? Try to describe it. • Describe the main building material(s) that was (were) used to make this building. • Are the materials natural or man-made? If the materials are man-made, what do you think the original material was? (e.g. glass is made from sandstone/silica) • Why do you think these materials have been chosen? 2nd lesson: Learning objectives Children should learn: • about planning a fair test and using results to draw conclusions Learning outcomes Children will be able to: • explain whether a simple test is fair and what the results indicate Lesson focuses which rock is the most permeable?
