These differentiated science foldable activities make learning about food chains fun!
Children can sequence plants and animals for different food chains before cutting out their templates and folding them. The finished results are ideal for an interactive science notebook or whole-class display.
There are two resources in this food chains bundle.
**Rainforest, Woodland and ocean habitat food chains **
For each habitat, there are 4 options included:
Colour the pre-designed template, with animals and plants already included and fold.
Colour the food chain, sequence the animals/plants to show who eats who, glue them onto the template, cut and fold.
Pupils draw their own food chain on a black and white template, cut and fold.
Pupils draw their own food chain on a pre-coloured template, cut and fold.
Food chains animal head foldouts
This resource has templates for 3 food chains (lion, grizzly bear and shark). For each one there are 3 similar options;
Colour the pre-designed template, with animals and plants already included and fold.
Colour the food chain, sequence the animals/plants to show who eats who, glue them onto the template, cut and fold.
As above but with a simpler, straight cutting edge.
Once folded, pupils can hide their food chain by bringing the 2 halves of the template together, then gently pull apart to reveal the inside (see preview video).
There is minimal prep required. Print the designs you plan to use on paper or card. Students need coloured pencils, scissors and glue.
Full lesson (powerpoint and worksheet with answers) on Pattern Sequences, aimed at mid to high ability year 7.
Lesson starts with a real-life example to show why we learn pattern sequences, followed by class examples and discussions, an independent task, and then a plenary. Planned to last an hour, under the assumption that a starter activity of some sort would occur before the lesson.
This lesson would then lead into a lesson on tabular and graphical forms of sequences. I will also upload my resources for this lesson.
All of my lessons on the topic of sequences will soon be available to purchase as a bundle.
Please let me know how you get on using these resources, and feel free to leave any reviews/feedback! Thanks!
This is a unit of 15 lesson on PowerPoint slides, which can be condensed or extended depending on the confidence of the class, that is based on the amazing book ‘Suffragettes: The Battle for Equality’ by David Roberts. My year 6 class absolutely loved learning about the Suffragettes -especially as extreme activism has been in the news so much recently! You will need to buy a copy of the book.
The unit consists of two ‘big writes’. A formal letter to a Prime Minister and a short story/recount about the day that the Suffragettes interrupted a parliamentary meeting. The lessons that lead up to the ‘big writes’ all teach the class the necessary grammatical elements and writing features that they can include in their writing.
Each lesson has a grammar starter and grammar embedded into it for SATs revision. Many of the lessons have differentiation for your lower attaining writers and suggestions for how to challenge your more confident writers.
I have included reading comprehensions which can be completed in your Reading lessons or for homework if you don’t have time to get through all the reading in class.
This unit can be continued after with a biography about Emmeline Pankhurst or Millicent Fawcett.
This resource has 9 pictures and word cards to use for sequencing the story JACK AND THE BEANSTALK.
NB these are basic, simple cards with few words.
The pictures only can be used to sequence/sentences only or both.
This resource is part of my SEQUENCING CARDS BUNDLE which includes The Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk and Goldilocks and the Three Bears:
Ideal for Kindergarten, Year 1 and Special Educational Needs.
Perfect for English centre activities, group or independent work.
