KS2 Bitesize - Science. ActionBioscience.org examines bioscience issues in biodiversity, environment, genomics, biotechnology, evolution, new frontiers in the sciences, and education. Includes peer-reviewed articles, class lessons, and educator resources. Fundamental Biosciences Life sciences include disciplines of science that are concerned with the scientific study of life – including microbes, plants, and animals, including humans. Biology is an umbrella term for the natural sciences that study life, with the other life sciences serving as subfields. In our holistic approaches to health, life and wellbeing, the area of Life Sciences complements all areas of our website with a more scientific point of view to better understand the advances in bioscience and their profound implications.

Also, in the area of Life sciences, we aim to promote the understanding of biodiversity of life and improve bioscience literacy to increase global ecological consciousness and promote bioscience education. We see a fundamental knowledge of bioscience as a basis to be able to improve health of humans, animals and the environment for a balanced ecosystem. Goals and Features of Bioscience on ICWB.com.

Randi from Swoon is here today to share a simple craft that invites children to explore all of the delights that the solar system has to offer—a perfect project for the budding young astronomers in our lives. My oldest child (age five) has shown recent interest in the solar system. It all started with questions about day, night, sun and moon. I love it when my children can learn a concept in a hands on manner, so I set about looking for some sort of solar system set for them to play with. There are a lot of great sets out there, but they tend to be made of materials such as Styrofoam, which would not last long around here with younger siblings. I recently stumbled upon a few materials at the local craft store and decided to try my hand at making my own set of planets. Would you like to make a set of your own? Here’s what you need: 10 birch ball knobs in varying sizes (I tried to make mine proportionate to the real planets, but they are not perfect.* I also included Pluto in my set!
