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.
Playing with light
What causes a rainbow to appear in the sky. Why are there colours in soap bubbles? If you put a stick, spoon or toy in water, why does it appears bent. Let's find out!
Ordering months and talking about seasons
Can you order the months of the year? Cut out all the months and stick them on a piece of paper in order. Now, see if you can put them into the right seasons.
Observing plants in your environment
Have a walk around your garden, a park or nearby woodland. What kinds of plants can you see? Do you see any plants in flower? Choose two plants and then use this sheet to record what you found and then do some research on your plants.
Naming the seasons
How well do you know your seasons? Cut out their names below and stick them next to the right picture, then cut out the words at the bottom of the sheet and stick them next to the season you think they belong in.
Looking at day length in different seasons
Have a look at the dates in this table. Which season are each of these dates in? Can you count how many hours of daylight are in each day?
Important inventions with materials
Imagine that you are inventing a space ship. What features will you include? Think of the materials will they be made from (you can make up your own materials). Describe the properties of each material and
why these will be useful for things you will encounter on your space journey. Can you draw a labelled picture of it?
Human needs
There are a few things human beings need to survive. Can you cut out all the cards and divide them between the two groups below?
How nutrients are transported in humans
Look at this diagram of a human body. Can you draw arrows to show the passage of food through the body? Match each of the stages of digestion with where it takes place in the body.
How light helps us to see
We see an object because light shines onto it and is reflected back into our eye. When it gets dark this evening, try this activity to prove the theory.
How does distance of an object from a light source change the shadow it makes?
Time for an experiment! Let's find out how the distance of an object from a light source changes the shadow it makes.
Grouping objects from nature
Some of these things are living, some were once alive but are now dead and some have never been alive. Can you cut out the cards and group them in the circles?
Food chains in habitats
Look at these jumbled-up food chain cards. Can you cut them out and order them correctly? Remember to draw arrows from one to the next (the arrow points from the animal being eaten to the animal eating it).
Darwin and evolution
Have you heard about Darwin's theories on evolution? Have a look on the internet or in your local library. Can you find any examples of species evolving over time? Record your research.
Create your own micro-habitat
A micro-habitat is a small habitat within a larger one (for example: a tree within a forest). Today, you are going to create your own!
Create an autumn scrapbook
Autumn is a great time for collecting! Why not go on an autumn treasure hunt and make a scrapbook with all the things you discover.
Classifying vertebrates
There are five groups of vertebrates. Which of the following vertebrates belong to each group?
Classifying plants
Go out to your garden, local park or nearby woodland. Collect as many examples of flowering plants and non-flowering plants that you can find. Then choose one plant of each kind and draw a diagram of it.
Can you find the seeds in both plants? Can you find out what your chosen plants are called?
Classifying invertebrates
Can you cut out each of the following pictures and say which class of invertebrates they belong to?
Classifying animals, plants, micro-organisms
Do you know the difference between animals, plants, micro-organisms? See if you can you put all these in the correct group.
