KS2 Science
Finding out how you move and grow. Can you label the human skeleton? When you've finished move onto the animal skeletons. Do you know which groups living things belong to? Magnets have north poles and south poles. What does a year look like in space? © v2vtraining.co.uk The application consists of two sorting activities and one writing frame to support work towards the end of the unit. Solid, liquid and gas are called the three states of matter. Materials have different properties that make them useful for different jobs. Pupils can research information about teeth types, tooth structure and tooth decay. Use an information panel where pupils can research details about food groups and a balanced plate approach to a healthy diet.Balanced Plate lesson outline An information panel to explains the terms used in, and concepts behind, food chains. This resource consists of a labelling activity, an animation of the water cycle followed by another labelling activity.

Science ks1 & ks2 teaching resources
The current national curriculum programmes of study for science at key stages 1 and 2 have been disapplied with effect from 1 September 2013 for pupils in years 3 and 4 and are no longer statutory in relation to those year groups. This means that schools are free to develop their own curriculums for science that best meet the needs of their pupils, in preparation for the introduction of the new national curriculum from September 2014 Science remains a compulsory national curriculum subject at all 4 key stages, and the existing programmes of study and attainment targets remain statutory for pupils in years 1, 2, 5 and 6 in 2013 to 2014, because they will underpin the statutory key stage 1 and 2 tests in 2014 and 2015. New statutory programmes of study and attainment targets will be introduced from September 2014 for all year groups except years 2 and 6: for those year groups, the new curriculum will take effect from September 2015.

CERN - unischoolabs
Let’s take a look at one of the largest labs in the world. (VIDEO) The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a giant scientific facility located 100m under the Earth’s surface, near Geneva on the border of France and Switzerland. It is the most advanced particle accelerator in CERN and is used by scientists in order to study the basic particles of matter. ATLAS is a very big basic particle physics experiment that is performed in the LHC at CERN. (VIDEO) The ATLAS detector studies the proton collisions in extremely high energies, in order to collect information about the fundamental forces of the Universe which have governed it since the very first moment of its existence.

Welcome to the new themed science area! Science is a curriculum requirement but many concepts can be difficult for children to understand. I have produced a large number of items that link to many science topics covered in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Click on the links below to visit a themed science area or visit the Fact Sheet sections. Please click on the next two buttons for mini workbooks on the topics below.

Daphnia
Después de 20 años de no tener daphnia, la conseguí!! De hecho, conseguí 3 tipos de daphnia. De entre los diferentes tipos de daphnia existentes, los más comunes son 3 (o hasta ahora los que yo se) Daphnia Magna : La más grande, es casi del tamaño de la artemia adulta Daphnia Pulex: Más pequeña que la anterior, pero todavía de buen tamaño. Daphnia Moina: La más pequeña, pero de temperatura más accesible (70° a 85°F) a comparación de las primeras dos primas que requieren de un rango entre 55° y 68°F ¿Qué es la daphnia? Es un pequeño camaroncillo de agua dulce que se encuentra por lo general en presas, estanques y ríos de muy poca corriente, también conocidas como "pulgas de agua". Otra de las propiedades que recién aprendí de la daphnia, es que limpia los intestinos de los peces (esto lo supe al comentar que había obtenido mis nuevos cultivos de daphnia en la última junta mensual del TAS (The Angelfish Society)), además de ser una fuente basta de proteínas y nutrientes para los peces.
Micro-organisms
Welcome to Micro-organisms Hello, I'm Dr David Moore and I am a mycologist at the University of Manchester. So, what is a mycologist? Well, let me explain, a mycologist is someone who has studied, and therefore knows quite a lot about fungus. Why do we need fungi? We depend on fungi every day of our lives. How do fungi relate to micro-organisms? Fungi can be classified as micro-organisms along with Bacteria, Viruses, Algae and Protozoa and we will be looking at these in more detail in this section of the Children's University. Lets Learn now! I hope you have fun learning about micro-organisms with me.
Inquiry Activities for Schools | PATHWAY: The Pathway to Inquiry Based Science Teaching
The school constitutes the “epicentre” of formal comprehensive education. Most processes and educational models start there and revolve around the work carried out within its walls. Naturally, the same applies for activities involving the IBSE model, generally acknowledged as one of the most effective teaching approaches;2 the students start their acquaintance with inquiry-based learning at school, with the help of their teachers.
Creative KS2 topic: micro-organisms
Germs and bacteria seem be a source of fascination for children of all ages. Perhaps it’s the idea of a secret world hidden from the naked eye that intrigues, knowing that there are organisms out there, on us, and all around us. Or maybe it’s just that a lot of children like things that are a bit disgusting! This topic is based loosely on the year 6 QCA unit ‘Micro-organisms’ but contains ideas that could be used in many different ways. 1. Generate your own germs… Micro-organisms give us a brilliant opportunity for some imaginative personification, and the creation of germ characters is an engaging introduction to the topic. This activity uses the Domestos bleach adverts as a starting point. There are many different ways in which the children could make their germs; one of my favourites is borrowed from the Eric Carle website (eric-carle.com). 2. Don’t forget your food miles… Why not try creating passports for your micro-organisms? 3. Investigate the secret life of grime… 4. 5.
