A fully resourced KS2 science lesson about the human eye and how we see. The lesson contains a teaching PowerPoint, full planning and differentiated tasks (challenge and extra support). The resource explores how we see things, then focuses on the different parts of the eye and their functions. The independent tasks for the children also link to these themes.
Please note: some video links are included in the sessions, which should always be assessed for suitability prior to use!
Includes:
*Teacher PowerPoint presentation
*2 differentiated eye labelling task sheets (lower and middle/higher ability)
*3 differentiated eye part functions task sheets (lower, middle & higher ability)
*Full planning, linked to science curriculum

If your fed up with hunting for decent science assessments for Primary children, or paying well over the odds for them, then look no further. This resource includes twenty-eight different assessments as well as a detailed mark scheme, designed to make marking efficient. Every single Primary science objective (NC 2014) is covered in each of the child friendly tests. Not enough? Well, also included is an excel spreadsheet which has been designed to make tracking progress a breeze. Simply fill in the marks for each child and the spreadsheet will do the rest of the work for you. It will give you a ‘grade’ for each individual objective, a total grade for each science topic and an overall science grade. This method of assessment quickly allows you not just to see individual pupils’ weaknesses, but also weaknesses within the class as a whole and provides the teacher with an excellent evidence base. In this era of tracking without levels, this is an essential resource for all Primary teachers. Please, leave feedback for this amazing resource!
ALSO ADDED: Individual assessments for ALL science objectives for ALL year groups are available for purchase as are individual year group, KS1, KS2 or complete Primary packs. Visit my shop – by clicking on my username – to find these great resources + lots more! And if you like these Science Assessments, you will also like my maths assessments – check them out in my shop!
This lesson is appropriate for ages 8-11 years old. It can support children to learn about mixtures and solutions with included videos and tasks. This is a powerpoint which offers a wizard/ magic theme to keep young children engaged. It has been used to teach Year 5 successfully.
