A fun science experiment focusing on the properties of materials linked to Shakespeare's Macbeth. This 6 lesson DT and science learning journey, asks children to design and build a boat using 'junk' and considering the properties of different materials. Includes: presentation, planning, resources and certificate. Objectives that the learning journey covers, are: Y3/4 1a. asking relevant questions and using different types of scientific enquiries to answer them 1b. setting up simple practical enquiries, comparative and fair tests 1c. making systematic and careful observations 1d. gathering, recording, classifying and presenting data in a variety of ways to help in answering questions 1e. recording findings using simple scientific language, drawings, labelled diagrams, keys, bar charts, and tables 1f. reporting on findings from enquiries, including oral and written explanations, displays or presentations of results and conclusions 1g. using results to draw simple conclusions, make predictions for new values, suggest improvements and raise further questions 1h. identifying differences, similarities or changes related to simple scientific ideas and processes Y5/6 2a. planning different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, including recognising and controlling variables where necessary 2b. recording data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, classification keys, tables, scatter graphs, bar and line graphs 2c. using test results to make predictions to set up further comparative and fair tests 2d. reporting and presenting findings from enquiries, including conclusions, causal relationships and explanations of and degree of trust in results, in oral and written forms such as displays and other presentations 2e. identifying scientific evidence that has been used to support or refute ideas or arguments.

An informative presentation all about sugar and the effects of. Includes a fun practical activity that will get parents thinking. The presentation can be very easily adapted for a KS2/3 Science lesson. To make it an excellent experiment/workshop, I bought sugar and physical resources to make it interactive and engaging. If you have any questions or need any support, send me a message and I'll do anything I can to help. Please do review any resources that you download - many thanks!

I have recently won a TES prize for the creative teaching of Shakespeare. Here's what TES said: 'Hannah embraced the challenge of bringing Hamlet, Shakespeare’s longest play, to life in her KS2 classroom by adopting an original, cross-curricular approach. Featuring learning opportunities in and outside of the classroom, learners were fully immersed into this epic tragedy in every subject area and demonstrated their understanding in a variety of ways. From video retellings and word count pie charts to song writing and unique artistic interpretations, her teaching is the perfect example of how Shakespeare can be made accessible to pupils of all ages.' In this activity pack, there are ideas for 16 lessons and learning journeys. Many subjects are featured, including: Science, Maths, English, D&T, Art and more. The pack is made-up of resources, photos of when I did these activities with my class and planning. One of the 16 above is a cross-curricular learning journey for D&T and took us three weeks to complete - the children loved it! There are 46 pages in total. This was used with a Y5 class but can easily be adapted to support pupils from Y3 - Y8. The progress that my class made throughout this project was phenomenal! If you do have any questions or need any support, please send me a message. *My resources always take me a lot of time and effort to create so I hope that they help to save you some precious time - please do review my resources. Thank you!*
