This photocopiable resource contains a wide range of structured activities and worksheets on topics including Plants, Materials, Soil, Magnets, Sounds, Electricity and Food tests. Many have been around for some time, such as the separation of mixtures, the swinging of a pendulum and the study of pulse rates. But all the activities and their assessment are clearly written and well presented. Recording and monitoring are made easier by the class record sheets, the teacher’s notes and the statements of curriculum content.
