A worksheet and answer sheet, detailing the function and structures of each of the blood vessels. The worksheet includes information about the artery, vein and capillary (function, lumen size, valves, wall structure etc.)

Year 6 Science Animals, including humans- Drugs and Alcohol Includes: a worksheet where children can work individually or in pairs to describe one category of drugs. It is intended to be used so that different groups in the class produced fact sheets on different categories of drugs. At the end of the lesson, children can share what they have found out through peer learning/class presentation. success criteria for the fact sheet activity. a task prompt for an ICT activity where children work in groups to make their own advert highlighting the dangers of drugs to others. QR codes of the video files could be generated after the videos have been made as a record in their books.

Year 6 Science Living things and their habitats- Classification Keys Included: 2 page worksheet explaining two classification tasks (how to formulate closed questions based on diagnostic features) Task 1= classifying sweets activity Task 2= classifying leaves activity Task 2 requires a trip outside of the classroom to collect local leaves. A3 paper and a selection of sweets are also required for this lesson. Suggested introductory activity- look at branching keys used to classify vertebrates and invertebrates covered previously in Year 4.

A prompt and worksheet sorting activity, where children identify the main features of each of the components of the blood. This could be completed after a teaching powerpoint or carried out as an internet research task. The task could be differentiated by giving children more/less stickers, of differing complexity. The sticker worksheet is designed to be formatted to print out onto a label sheet, or can be printed on normal paper and cut out instead. The stickers are designed to be placed under each heading of the prompt sheet.

A worksheet to be used alongside a practical making a model to represent components of the blood. Examples of what could be used/needed in the model are: plastic bottles marshmallows (white blood cells) raisins (platelets) cranberry juice (to give rbc red colour) water (plasma) Any similar items could be used in this model. Children work through worksheet working out which components to include, what proportions of each to include and detailing the function of each component.

Includes a worksheet and answer sheet. the meaning of IV, DV and CV’s examples of investigations where children identify the variables within each example an opportunity for children to write their own examples and work through peer work to identify the variables

Year 6 Science Evolution and inheritance A worksheet and answer sheet, formatted so that it could be printed on to stickers. Cut and stick activity/sticker activity where children order the stages of the evolution of the peppered moth.

Includes: a blank worksheet detailing the stages of the scientific method. This is intended to be used for children to formulate their own ideas for investigations independently. Post it notes can be placed on top of each category to allow differentiation by outcome. A section is included for children to consider the most appropriate method of data presentation to use with results after carrying out their experiment. an example worksheet showing one idea for an investigation into mould growth as part of the Living things and their habitats (microorganisms) topic. this template is to encourage children to independently consider different investigations and could lead to class discussion and follow up investigations.

Use this worksheet as an introduction into the key features of microorganisms. Children can work their way along the progressively complex success criteria to explain and give examples of each type of microorganism. HA- Provide top prompt section only, children create own factsheet in their books. LA- Use template provided to scaffold work. Information will be need to be taught prior to this activity- through lesson powerpoint, reading or research.

Year 6 Science Evolution and inheritance - Inherited and Environmental characteristics Children colour to sort inherited from environmental characteristics, or a combination of both.

Year 6 Science Living things and their habitats Classification- Unusual Living Things Includes: A worksheet containing two tasks Task 1: Research task using the internet to identify the diagnostic features of a selection of unusual living things. Use to generate discussion about classification. Task 2: Creative task. Children to design their own mythical creature based on an existing living thing. Children can change a feature to make a living thing unusual. Followed by internet research to classify their living thing using the Linnaean classification system. A useful follow up to classification resource pack lesson I have produced.

Year 6 Living things and their habitats: Classification ICT Research Lesson In this lesson resource pack you will find: Task 1: Research and identify key features for the Five Kingdoms Task 2: Classify using the Linnaean classification system (Latin words) Task 3: Classify unusual living things Three separate tasks and accompanying success criteria (self, peer and teacher assessed) Accompanying resources for each of the three tasks Answers for each resource Opportunities to differentiate suggested where appropriate Please note: This is an ICT based lesson which requires use of the internet to research. Tasks can be completed individually, in pairs or in groups. Please note: Tasks are formatted to fit on to appropriate sized label pages. Alternatively, resources could be cut out.

Year 6 Science Animals, including humans - Heartrate Investigation Several worksheets to be used around a heartrate investigation. Includes: a research task investigating the different exercises which are appropriate at different ages a template to plan an independent heartrate investigation using the scientific method an example of a possible investigation which could be used a prompt sheet for children’s books explaining the investigation a success criteria for drawing a bar graph from the investigation results the investigation could be carried out a number of ways (e.g. jumping, lunges and running as the IV and DV as the heartrate. This can be repeated for reliability with different participants.) NB: Squared paper is needed for the bar graph.

Year 6 Science Evolution and inheritance Adaptation Resource Pack Included: Task 1: Animal adaptations. Children identify and label adaptive features and explain their adaptive value, based on success criteria. Task 2: Chilly investigations. Practical investigations. Using variables. Task 3: Extreme survivors- research and information sheet. Task 4: People of significance in evolution theory- factsheet research task and then present to the class. e.g. Wallace, Anning or Darwin.
