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 Please see the Goldtopfox shop for more great teaching resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/goldtopfox

A set of bright and eye catching headings to set up a science working wall in your classroom. To be printed on card or on paper and laminated to use year after year. Selected images are in line with the NC requirements (in England) for Year 2. The set includes: Main Working Wall Heading Key Words - where you will display key science vocabulary that children will be learning and using in the topic Our Scientific Questions - where you will display children’s questions about their current topic Our Findings - where you will display examples of data collected through children’s scientific enquiry work We are working like… - linking children’s learning to scientific careers What we know to begin with - where you will display children’s prior knowledge about the topic Superstar Scientists - where you can celebrate successful young scientists by displaying exemplary pieces of work or photos of children working scientifically and displaying excellent skills (scientist of the week) Key vocabulary cards - sets of key vocabulary cards for animals, humans, uses for materials, living things & their habitats and plants For a consistent approach across Years 1 to 6 why not consider the bundle.

Grids showing progression of knowledge and skills across all areas of primary science. Supports whole school monitoring of curriculum coverage and progression of skills by science lead. All documents show how knowledge and skills from each area of primary science are developed across each year group. Links to different units of work are included to show how knowledge from one year group supports another year groups work in a different area. Progression in working scientifically is colour-coded and broken down into key skills under one-word headings.

In this exciting unit, Year 3 students dive into the world of geology by exploring different types of rocks and their properties. Through hands-on investigations, students learn to identify and classify rocks, understanding how they’re formed and why they’re important in our everyday lives. From examining fossils to observing soil samples, this unit brings science to life, connecting the natural world to real-world applications and sparking curiosity about the earth beneath our feet. Perfect for budding scientists, this topic encourages observation, classification skills, and a deeper appreciation of nature’s incredible diversity!

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.
