Night & Day
Build a sundial
(optional) Build an orrery
End of unit assessment
End of unit assessment - Earth & Space - Year 5 science - KS2
This resource is an end of unit assessment for use with my ‘Earth & Space’ topic, based on the Year 5 unit of work ‘Earth & Space’. It contains a 25 mark assessment (with answer sheet) covering the following topics:
Order of the planets
Understanding of basic space keywords (planet, universe, galaxy etc)
Heliocentric/geocentric model of solar system
Orbits of Earth and moon
Day and night on Earth
Shadows caused by rotation of earth (sundials etc)
Night & Day - Earth & Space - Year 5 Science - KS2
This resource contains a PowerPoint and worksheet designed to help pupils understand the difference between ‘rotate’ and ‘orbit’, then teaching pupils how the rotation of the Earth causes night and day.
Contains some simple practical tasks requiring plasticine ‘planets’ and small flags.

Size of universe - Earth & Space intro - Year 5 Science - KS2
A great intro to the Earth & Space topic for Year 5 pupils, giving them an insight into the size and scale of the universe. They will learn the difference between planets, solar systems, galaxies and the universe, and find out the vast distances between different objects in space.
Resource contains a PowerPoint and differentiated worksheets.

Planets in our solar system - Y5 Science - KS2 - Earth & Space
These resources contain:
Factfiles for the 8 planets
A blank ‘research’ page for pupils to carry out research
An introductory PowerPoint
By the end of this lesson, pupils should have a secure knowledge of the order of the planets in the solar system, and have had the opportunity to find out a little more about each of the planets.
As part of the ‘research’ section of the lesson, there is an interesting collaborative task, restricting pupils to only half of the planet factfiles, meaning they will need to ‘trade’ information with peers on the other planets, perhaps encouraging them to carry out the most comprehensive research.

Build a sundial - KS2 - Earth & Space - Year 5 - Science
A PowerPoint and worksheet to guide pupils through the science of why shadows move throughout a day, and a template with instructions to help pupils build their own working sundial.

Build an orrery - Earth & Space - KS2 - Year 5 - Science
This resource is part of the Year 5 science Earth & Space topic. It assumes some prior learning of orbits and rotations in relation to the Earth, moon and sun. Within this lesson, pupils can create a simple ‘orrery’, which they can use to demonstrate and deepen their understanding of the orbital periods of the earth and moon.
PowerPoint contains a short introduction, then step by step photos and instructions, as well as a task using their completed orreries.
Also contains the actual template for use in making the orrery. Best printed onto A3 card, but can also be printed on paper and backed onto card.

Models of solar system - KS2 - Year 5
Earth & Space lesson - Models of the solar system. A set of worksheets and PowerPoint looking at the geocentric and heliocentric models across history and exploring the contributions of different scientists (Copernicus, Galileo, Newton).
Aimed at Year 5 pupils, but easily transferable to Year 4 or 6.
