Lesson 4: To record the details of local living things using close observational drawings Lesson 5: To create a large-scale work of art of an invertebrate Lesson 6: To understand how to group living things Lesson 7: To discuss environmental changes Lesson 8: To consider some of the natural changes that could happen to an environment Lesson 9: To create a graph to show temperatures recorded over time Lesson 10: To understand the impact of environmental change Lesson 11: To plan and implement positive changes to a local environment This bundle also comes with 4 formative assessments to assess pupils’ learning at different stages (after lessons 3, 6, 9 and 11). Total Number of Slides: 131 Lesson Plans Included? No - slides annotated. Activities and Resources Included? Yes #stressfreeteaching_dreamscheme

A microorganism is a living thing that is too small to be seen with the naked eye. Examples of microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, algae, protozoa and fungi. In this lesson, students will learn about the 5 different types of microorganisms and how they behave. They will complete a matching activity: matching the microorganism with its information and will further investigate them through links to scientific websites online provided. They will then write a non-chronological report on what they have learnt (proformas provided) and will finally create their own microbe character to write a ‘Lonely Hearts’ add for, for fun. This is an engaging lesson which comes with an interactive power point presentation and all corresponding activity worksheets. It is designed for Year 6 but could easily be modified to suit lower KS2 and KS3. This lesson is 1/5 lessons on Living Things & Their Habitats.

Living things and their habitats plan, should last approx. 7 weeks, covering all objectives on the NC as well as a range of working scientifically objectives. The plan is fully differentiated for each lesson. Originally planned for Year 4 however could be adapted for other year groups. Week 1 - To understand what is classes as a living thing. Week 2 - To can recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways. Week 3 - To can explore a variety of living things that are in our local area. Week 4 - To can create a guide to identify what living things are in my local area. Week 5 - To can explore and use classification keys to help to group a variety of different living things. Week 6 - To can recognise that environments can change. Week 7 - To can recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things.

This clear, detailed and visually-appealing resource offers a complete reference point for Year 2 children, teachers and parents covering knowledge relating to ‘Living Things and their Habitats’, as a part of their science learning. It contains comprehensive sections on: Overview; Characteristics of Living Things; Alive, Dead, and Never Been Alive; Food Chains; Habitats; Key Vocabulary (underlined). The content is fully aligned with the NC expectations for Year 2 children relating to ‘Living Things and their Habitats:’ -explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive; -identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe; how different habitats provide for the basic needs of different kinds of animals and plants, and how they depend on each other; -identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including microhabitats; -describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain, and identify and name different sources of food. The resource is designed to be printed onto A3, and is provided as both a PDF and a Word version (so that you can edit if you want to). All images used are licensed for commercial use and are cited on a separate document (included).

This poster can be used as a knowledge organiser for the start of a topic or as a poster in the classroom. The information is based on the Y4 science national curriculum. However, it could be used as ‘what I should know’ information for older children ranging up to Year 8. The topics covered include: Categorising animals and plants MRS NERG A Classifying Key I have included an editable PPT verision and the finished PDF version.

Please click here for the complete Year 4 Science Posters resource. This is a poster to reinforce the year 4 science topic: Living things and their habitats. The beautifully designed poster is packed full of information and can be either used for revision or as part of a display in your classroom. PLEASE NOTE: The misalignment in the 2nd preview (the Word version) is not a reflection of how it looks, but a TES issue with generating previews. Objectives covered: Recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways Explore and use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things in their local and wider environment Recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things

A visual aid to support children when learning about the seven different characteristics of living things: M.R.S.G.R.E.N. After teaching this to children, they made their own version to use to support their learning which they loved. Enjoy! This lesson is included in my medium term plan for Living Things and Their Habitats which can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-13024195

Year 4 Living things and their habitats Your students will love this fantastic pack of science activities, ideal for supporting teaching of the Year 4 Science unit 'Living things and their habitats'! Included are six activities: -Sort it! Students sort animals in different ways, recording their reasoning. -Group it! Students group animals according to their animals class (mammal, reptile, amphibian, insect, bird or fish). -Match it! Students match up the cards into sets of a) animal class, b) characteristics and c) example. -Describe it! Students describe the impact humans have had on the environment in the photographs (deforestation, garden pond, litter on a beach and African national park). -Observe it! Students draw and describe a local habitat throughout the four season. They describe the impact on the local animals and plants. -Define it! Students match the topic vocabulary to its definitions. Included are detailed, clear instructions on how to set up the activities. Also included is a KWL (what I know already, what I would like to know and what I learnt) for student to complete prior and after the unit. Enjoy! Page Count: 17

Y6 Science – Living things and their Habitats This pack includes 5 lesson PowerPoints, a quiz after each lesson to check understanding and resources where needed. Lesson 1: Who was the scientist Carl Linnaeus and what did he do? Lesson 2: How do we classify vertebrate? Lesson 3: How do we classify invertebrate? Lesson 4: How can we classify a new creature based on its characteristics? Lesson 5: What animals and plants exist in my local environment?

KS2 Class assembly about the science topic ‘Living Things and Their Habitats’. Includes a class script for 26 children but can be customised for more children a ppt with slides related to the children’s lines a class dance tutorial and music embedded into the ppt

A worksheet with pictures and text boxes, which asks children to write 2 ways in which each animal has adapted to its environment.

Grab the magnifying glasses, binoculars, and pond nets to explore the habitats in your school grounds / outdoor space. Your class will see how many different habitats they can spot and which animals are lurking there. In pairs, get your class to walk around to see how many different habitats they can spot. They should fill in the differentiated record sheets as they go. For each habitat that your students identify they can use the available equipment to find and record any animals that might be living there. Some students may find it easier to draw pictures of the animals that they find.

A knowledge organiser to kickstart the unit of work.

A fact sheet aimed at teachers, not students. There is no substitute for in depth subject knowledge, but there is often little time to develop it. This is a knowledge organiser for teachers, to be used as a spring board for planning. It contains everything you need to know about Living Things and Habitats (up to GCSE-ish level), including common misconceptions and their related truths. Also includes child-friendly book recommendations.
