Note this product is part of a "Bundled For Savings" pack. Be sure to check out Bundled for Savings: Science Experiments for the Teacher Who Doesn't Like Teaching Science to purchase all FOUR sets of this product at a substantial savings! Yes, that's me...an elementary teacher who is not fond of teaching science. I know there are many of you out there, because I hear it from my colleagues all the time. I can't tell you how many science experiments I've had kids do that were total and complete flops over the years. Oh...and if you LOVE teaching science...you will find these experiments useful too! Finally, after 24 years of teaching, I have found tried and true experiments that the kids love, are easy to do, and actually work! This packet contains 5 easy investigations. The materials needed are easy to come by and inexpensive. I did not come up with these experiments myself, nor do I claim to. I have just compiled them onto easy to use sheets for students. Each experiment is described in detail on the front side and the backside provides students with space to record their observations. In addition, I have included an easy explanation of each experiment. The experiments include: Climbing Colors - A chromatology experiment. Materials needed include a washable colored marker, coffee filter, small plastic cup, water, measuring cup, scissors, and a ruler. Magic Milk - A color reaction experiment. Materials needed include whole milk, dinner plate, food coloring, Dawn dish detergent, and cotton swabs. Muscle Sand - A forces experiment. Materials needed include a paper towel cardboard tube, sand, tissue paper, rubber band, and a wooden dowel (12 inches long). Up, Up & Away - A chemical reaction experiment. Materials needed include a small uninflated balloon, small funnel, empty plastic water bottle, baking soda, vinegar, measuring cup (1/2 cup), and a measuring spoon (tablespoon) Hip Clip - A surface tension experiment. Materials needed include 2 clean, dry medium-size paper clips, 2” by 3” piece of tissue paper, bowl, water, and a pencil with an eraser.

This list provides 10 practical science experiments tailored for Year 5 and 6 pupils working in small groups. Each experiment is linked to the UK National Curriculum, covering topics such as materials, forces, electricity, and living organisms. The guide outlines clear instructions, required resources, and suggestions for recording results. These engaging experiments include dissolving sugar, making parachutes, growing mold, and creating simple circuits. The activities are designed to encourage hands-on learning, critical thinking, and collaboration among students.

Bring science and creativity together with this fun, hands-on Christmas chromatography activity designed for KS2/KS3 (Year 5–9). Pupils explore how colours are made by separating the hidden dyes inside felt-tip pens, then turn their results into festive decorations. This resource includes a simple step-by-step investigation guide. Chromatography paper is recommended, but everyday alternatives are also suggested to make the activity easy to run in any classroom or at home. Resources Needed: • Chromatography paper - available on amazon for around £6 (or white coffee filters as an alternative) • Beaker / jam jar / any clear plastic container • Water • Pencil • Ruler • Paper clip or tape • Felt-tip pens for testing Pupils learn that felt-tip inks are mixtures of colours and use chromatography to split them apart. Once their chromatograms have dried, they cut out their designs and glue them onto Christmas baubles to create a take-home decoration. This blends science enquiry, observation, and seasonal craft in an accessible, engaging way. Perfect for introducing mixtures and following a scientific method while keeping learning festive and fun.

This human body joints PowerPoint lesson teaches pupils to identify different types of joints in the body through clear explanations, practical modelling and movement-based activities. Ideal for KS2 science units on Animals Including Humans, this resource includes definitions, examples, classification tasks and a hands-on model-making activity to help children understand how bones and joints allow movement. The lesson begins with a fun scenario—“Move Like the Desert Animals!”—linking UAE desert wildlife to how the human body bends, stretches and rotates. Pupils explore key joints such as the elbow, knee, shoulder, hip, wrist, neck and ankle, learning the differences between hinge joints and ball and socket joints, as well as fixed joints. Partner questions, think-pair-share prompts and injury-identification scenarios deepen discussion and critical thinking. Teachers will find a range of interactive tasks, including: matching joint types to body movements identifying joints used for different actions labelling the main joints on a diagram creating a working arm model using card, split pins and string challenge questions comparing joint functions in everyday movements Clear definitions, diagrams, word bank keywords and a joint word search support vocabulary acquisition. A plenary task asks pupils to draw or describe their favourite joint and explain how it helps them move. This resource is perfect for whole-class teaching, science investigations, model-making lessons or revision activities. It supports differentiation, hands-on learning and strong scientific understanding with minimal teacher preparation.

Children act as CSI investigators and have to solve the murder of a goldfish. They are introduced to suspects and then must investiagte and prove which of the suspects would carry a bag of a dissolvable liquid. There is also slides supporting children to make predictions, and how to lay out a table and record data accurately. The murderer is revealed to be the owner of the local fish and chip shop, who carries salt with him everywhere. Really good fun science lesson, and a good experiment to get children thinking about behaving scientifically Please rate and review the resource underneath!

Science experiment sheet which can be easily altered for differentiation. The same format can be used for other subjects such as Food Studies. With little chages it can be used over and over again for different experients. Submitted by Kenneth D.
