A lesson aimed at the Year 3 Science unit of Animals including Humans. This lesson is the second lesson of a sequence, looking at the different food groups and the nutrients we require. The lesson presentation includes a recap task looking at prior learning from a previous lesson (can easily be discarded if you are using this as a stand alone lesson) key vocabulary and discussion around why we eat, as well as looking the Eatwell plate and the different food groups within this. This is then followed up by looking at different nutrients, the role they play and good food sources.
This is then followed by an independent activity working on the nutrients and food groups. This is then followed by a challenge question to provide the chance to reason. An answer sheet and support sheet are also included, with an answer sheet also included for the recap task.
Alongside this is a second version of the lesson aimed at any groups who may be working at a lower level. The aim of the lesson is the same and there is a presentation, activity with answers and support sheet at a more appropriate level.

Answers are also included for each activity, except the fact file which will vary.
A lesson aimed at the Year 3 Science unit of Plants. This lesson is the second lesson of a sequence, looking at the different things that a plant needs. The lesson presentation includes a recap from a previous lesson of the different parts of a plant (can easily be omitted if you want this lesson as a one off) before then looking at the different things plants need and why.
This is then followed by an independent activity that requires children to name the things plants need before completing a true or false grid with statements linked to what plants need. This is then followed by a challenge question to provide the chance to reason. An answer sheet and support sheet are also included.
There is also a copy of the recap task included should you wish for children to have a go at naming parts of the plant and explaining why one part is important.
A lesson aimed at the Year 3 Science unit of Animals including Humans. This lesson is the fifth lesson of a sequence, looking at muscles. The lesson presentation includes a recap task looking at prior learning from a previous lesson (can easily be discarded if you are using this as a stand alone lesson) key vocabulary and discussion around why muscles are important to us and how they work.
This is then followed by an independent activity working on applying the learning about muscles and how they work. This is then followed by a challenge question regarding exercise and breathing heavier. An answer sheet and support sheet are also included, with an answer sheet also included for the recap task.
Alongside this is a second version of the lesson aimed at any groups who may be working at a lower level. The aim of the lesson is the same and there is a presentation, activity with answers and support sheet at a more appropriate level.
A range of reading comprehensions linked to famous people, either currently or from a period of history including politicians, scientists and activists.
A fully resourced lesson that focuses on stages of development for humans. Included is a lesson presentation with questions to get children thinking before identifying the different stages of development. There is then a three-way differentiated activity to apply what they have learnt.
A knowledge organiser that links to the Year 3 unit on plants, including key vocabulary, images and diagrams that link to some of the key information when learning about plants.
Also included are five different quizzes/ tasks that link to the information in the knowledge organiser that could be used on different weeks as a focus task/ revision of the information on the organiser.
These include quiz questions, matching definitions, completing diagrams and filling in blanks. For each quiz/ task, an answer sheet is also included.
Teach children all about the Sun, Earth and Moon with this block of differentiated lesson plans and resources.
These seven lessons take children on a journey from the developing understanding of the Solar System models to writing their own reports.
Lesson One - Reading comprehension task learning about the geocentric and heliocentric models
Lesson Two - Developing understanding of the Earth's orbit
Lesson Three - Developing understanding of the Earth's orbit and rotation
Lesson Four - Developing understanding of the Earth's rotation
Lesson Five - Learning about the orbit and phases of the Moon

A mixed reading comprehension bundle that has a range of reading comprehensions that work on building understanding/ improving knowledge about famous scientists.
Six different posters of animal silhouettes that include facts regarding how they survive in their environment. Useful to form part of a display or as fact files for children to understand features that help animals adapt to their harsh environment, whether hot or cold.
Attached is a full set of differentiated planning and resources for six lessons for electricity that cover the curriculum aims for Year 6. Included within this are tips for writing scientifically, looking at what needs to be included as well as a model example of a conclusion and what makes it good.
Lesson One - The history of electricity - Reading Comprehension with answers included
Lesson Two - Staying safe with electricity
Lesson Three - What make good conductors
Lesson Four - Circuits and symbols
Lessons Five and Six - Conducting an experiment into variations in how components function
During the unit of planning children will get to work on different skills including practising their reading comprehension, creating posters and writing scientifically.
A sequence of lessons on light for Year 6 that includes an investigation. Included are the lesson presentations, any print outs required, a KWL grid to refer back to, a vocabulary triangle and a knowledge organiser.
A complete writing unit for teaching explanation texts through writing one about the digestive system. It has been created with lower KS2 in mind but is easily adaptable.
Each ‘lesson’ is broken into chunks of learning rather than directly being a one hour lesson. This means some of the lessons may take more than an hour and be completed over a sequence of lessons instead, with the focus being on the learning and activities within this rather than ‘rushing’ through in an hour. Altogether, there is approximately two weeks worth of lessons, with slightly longer depending on how long drafting, redrafting and publishing take.
The unit includes lessons on:
Features of explanation texts
Cohesive devices
Research
Creating simple sentences
Drafting and redrafting
Publishing
All lesson PowerPoints with notes are included as well as a model text, a summary organiser about the digestive system, activity sheets and a explanation text summary sheet.
Four fully resourced lessons that focus on classification in Year 6 Living Things, getting children to consider how they might classify before beginning to learn about the actual classification system. This then moves on to children working on different classes and creating their own animal based on a particular class.
