What stores and transfers energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred from one store into another. In these pictures, which items do you think use energy? Which ones store energy? Do they all store/use the same type of energy? Cut them out and sort them into groups.
Understanding friction: Build your own balloon hovercraft
When a moving surface slides on a stationary surface it rubs against it, which slows it down. This is due to friction, a force which resists the movement of one object sliding past another. Understand more about friction with a fantastic practical project: make your own balloon hovercraft!
Super scientist quiz
Quiz questions to encourage your child to think about how scientists work and why they do the things they do.
Reaching conclusions
A worksheet showing results of an experiment with questions underneath to consider.
Non-verbal reasoning: Focus on compound figures
Adding shapes and visualising the resultant shape can be a challenge, especially if the two shapes blend in with each other. What will the added shape look like in these questions?
Non-verbal reasoning: Finding hidden figures
In these questions, the figure shown on the left is hidden in one of the five figures on the right. Choose the option in which the figure on the left is hidden. The figure on the left has not been rotated or changed.
Non-verbal reasoning: Find the odd one out
In this non-verbal reasoning question type you’ll be looking for the odd one out in a series of figures – in other words, the ONE figure which is most unlike all the others.
Non-verbal reasoning: Cubes practice
Working with the nets of cubes can be tricky, but lots of practice will boost your confidence! In these questions, the figure shown on the left is a 3D object. Find the top view of the figure from one of the choices.
Non-verbal reasoning: Cubes and nets: shading and patterns
The net shown on the left forms one of the cubes on the right. Choose which cube can be formed from the net.
Non-verbal reasoning: Cubes and nets: an introduction
A net is a 2D figure which can be folded into a 3D object. The net of a cube will, when cut out and assembled, make a cube! In these non-verbal reasoning questions you will need to relate a 2D net to the cube that can be made out of it.
Non-verbal reasoning: Compound figures: adding shapes together
Figures can be built by combining different shapes. Can you find the best option to complete each of these puzzles?
Non-verbal reasoning: Composite 3D figures
In these questions, the figure shown on the left is a 3D object. Find TWO OR MORE figures on the right that combine to form the object on the left.
Non-verbal reasoning: Complete-the-series revision
In complete-the-series questions you need to look at a set of figures’ common attributes to identify another figure which belongs to the same group. Find which figure belongs to the group of shapes shown on the left.
Non-verbal reasoning: Complete the matrix by finding the overall pattern
Work through these complete-the-grid questions step-by-step to complete them correctly.
Non-verbal reasoning: Complete the grid
In this question type you are asked to complete a matrix (an array shown as a series of columns and rows). Can you solve these complete-the-grid questions?
Non-verbal reasoning: Building 3D figures
In these questions, the figure shown on the left is a 3D object. Find the top view of the figure from one of the choices.
Non-verbal reasoning: 3D shape-building practice
Which of the figures make up the 3D shape shown on the left?
Non-verbal reasoning: 3D rotation revision
Which of the figures have been rotated to make the figure in the question?
Non-verbal reasoning: 2D views of 3D shapes
The figure on the left is a 3D object. Pick the correct the top view of the figure from the options available.
Non-verbal reasoning: 2D views from different directions
A 3D shape has been given on the left. Choose the correct 2D view, as seen from the direction given by the arrow mark.
Non-verbal reasoning: 2D shapes rotation revision
In these questions, the first figure on the left is rotated by a certain angle to arrive at the second figure. By what angle has the first figure has been rotated?
Non-verbal reasoning: 2D shape-building
Which of the figures make up the 3D shape shown on the left?
Non-verbal reasoning: 2D and 3D views practice
Working on 2D and 3D views of shapes will help you answer questions about 3D shape rotation. The figure on the left is a 3D object. Pick the correct the top view of the figure from the options available
