Probably the best themed unit I’ve done with a class. Based in the IBPYP, pupils are really excited to find out themselves rather than being taught. Their ideas drive the unit. ‘Can we….?’ Replaces ‘Today we’re going to…’ The presentation has AI animated characters who briefly explain, accompanied by voiceover instructions. This way (if they have their own device) pupils can revisit instructions if they need help. The teacher becomes a facilitator. Pupils love finding the cost of the shopping lists, want to make their own and share them with the class. Art work, IT / ICT, written literacy pieces and science research generates wonderful displays and pupils are proud of their work. Expect this excitement to engulf the class!

A COMPLETE PACKAGE!! Introduce the lesson on changing state machines. Liken them to function machines in Maths. Discuss heat sources (ideas doc) and the relevant key words (vocab PDF). I’ve included everything you need from posters to print out to photos of how I displayed it in my lab. On strips of A3 card, the children use the hints sheet (ideas doc) and make their own &‘machine&’;. Good luck - it was a lot of fun! The files were too large for one post, please see part 2 for the rest of the files. *** Please leave feedback on how you used this in your Science lessons*** Many thanks See part 2 here: https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/changing-state-machines--display-part-2-6435586

I have been teaching sex and relationship education in Year 6 as part of a unit on organs of the body. The SRE aspect is taught in a lesson on how a baby is conceived and includes how identical twins and non identical twins occur. It's a passive way to get the pupils to talk about the different parts of the reproductive organs as it is in conjunction with a fascination with twins - although the sex part is secondary, they are more comfortable taking about the organs as it is not the main feature of the lesson. The attached diagrams are a re-hash of one widely available on Pinterest and other websites. I took a stab at it to make the diagrams more relevant to my lessons. I use one as a lesson on virus vs bacterial infection and when it is time to take antibiotics... and when not to... Other lessons are on digestion, muscle and bone names, glands skin & hair (what happens when they go through puberty), respiration and the heart, organs that remove waste and the mystery of the brain and nervous system (more adapted to para / quadriplegic discussions). You can either put one in the middle of each page in their book and write information around it, or use it as a book itself, made from concertina folding card. Each of the lessons I back up with Youtube (mostly TedEd) clips and other resources like glow in the dark skeletons (£1 shop at Hallowe'en) with laminated labels for all of the major bone names.

Colourful and lively pictures of the planets. I have added a post card to the base of each. I usually ask students to do a research project on a planet, then they are given the post card. The purpose is to get the students to link fact to fiction. For example: if the gravity is more than Earth, the student would write ‘the people here are so short and stocky, but that is because the gravity is 2.5 times greater than Earth’ or ‘the winds are so strong in the big red spot on Jupiter, but great for windsurfing!’ Makes a wonderful display. Anyone finishing early can make astronauts to decorate the gaps between the postcards and cut out some gold and silver stars.

Read a scientist’s description of a newly discovered planet and its characteristics. Watch a few YouTube clips (links in the Word document) of humanoid and other types of aliens, then discuss adaptations (with pictures as discussion points). Design an alien and around the image, label the different specialist adaptations, explaining why it is suited to living on this new planet.

This is a poster that can be used as sorting cards, matching activity and a philosophical discussion about sound in Science. I have made them into laminated sorting cards to stimulate group discussion (printed on A3, cut out & laminated) With the use of iPads - the pupils explore questions they generate: what sound does a heart make? How do animals like birds make noise? Is it language or just communication? I also use it as a poster on the wall and print out small copies for the pupils to stick in their book and record their brainstorm ideas around it. A great springboard for generating ideas on sound and a good starter for the sound unit in KS2 Science. *** PLEASE leave feedback on how this worked in your Science lessons*** Many thanks

A lot of fun, with a few difficult vegetables thrown in for the G&T pupils. While it may not be perfect (!!) it has been a really useful resource at the end of a unit, or a springboard at the beginning. Follow on lessons were to use a blank periodic table and find 5 different categories (eg: mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds & fish) and make their own periodic table. Enjoy and please leave feedback.

These are a few samples of my Year 5 Chemistry unit. In total (in the paid version), there are 61 files to download which include: Self evaluation Key word lists Around 20 different activities Homework activities Teacher sheets Activities for a Science Club Test at the end The resources required are basic and do not use chemicals. Some glassware is required but can be easily purchased off the internet (as can most of the consumable resources). I teach Year 5 twice a week for 1h20m and this unit takes me 12 - 14 weeks to get through (Usually January to April) and a summative test is included for assessment at the end.
