Earth and Space - Space Presenters - Year 5

Galileo Galilei needs your help to prove that the Earth moves round the sun; that the moon moves around the Earth; and that the seasons and day & night are all a consequence of these movements. He needs you to provide experimental evidence, not just current astrological thinking.

Includes 6 session plans & resources:

01 - Coming up with the intergalactic goods - developing scientific enquiry
02 - Planetary scales - modelling the solar system
03 - The minor matter of how the solar system works
04 - Day and night - changing shadows
05 - Sundial designers and time zones detectives
06 - A moon month

Hamilton’s science scheme provides children with a broad but comprehensive experience of primary science that systematically covers all of the National Curriculum for England objectives. Each year group is split into 6 blocks of 6 sessions, each of which can be completed within a half-term. We present them in a recommended teaching order, but you may adapt this to fit your requirements. Working scientifically, investigations and meaningful outcomes are fully incorporated in each block.
