Understanding light reflection: Build your own periscope
Mirrors change the direction of light and reflect it. We can demonstrate this practically by making a periscope. Light is reflected from one object into a mirror and then onto the other mirror before reaching your eyes. Collect your materials and find out for yourself!
What is evaporation?
In this investigation you are going to see if water can move – or does it just change?
Food webs
When we look at habitats we often look at food chains to see the feeding relationships within them. Sometimes, though, more than one animal feeds off others. This is when we make food webs. Look at these cards. Can you cut them out and arrange them on the table with the arrows to show which animals feed off each other?
I hear with my little ear
Sit in a quiet place and close your eyes and listen really carefully. What can you hear inside the room? What can you hear inside yourself? Record the sounds you hear.
Using collective nouns
A collective noun is a noun used to refer to a group of things. For each green collective noun below, there are two purple nouns that could go with them. Can you cut out all the cards and match them up?
Expanding noun phrases
A noun phrase is a group of words that act in the same way as a noun. Expand these noun phrases by filling the gaps with interesting, powerful words to make the sentences more descriptive.
Adverbial phrases in sentences
Adverbial phrases at the start of a sentence are called fronted adverbials. Cut out these sentence starters and see if you can match them with the correct adverbial phrases.
Understanding alliteration
Alliteration is the repetition of an initial letter or sound in closely connected words. Cut out the words in the table and sort them so that they are in groups according to their first letter. Now see if you can work out where they go in these sentences.
The active and passive voice
Use these groups of words to write three of your own active sentences. Then use these words to write three of your own passive sentences.
Subject and object in a sentence
Most sentences have a subject (the thing or person the sentence is about), a verb (a doing word) and an object (something that is having something done to it by the subject). Can you find appropriate subjects, verbs and objects in the table below to fill in these sentence gaps? Then underline the subject in green, the verb in purple and the object in orange.
Identifying concrete and abstract nouns
Read the following sentences. Underline the concrete nouns in blue and the abstract nouns in red.
Active and passive sentences
Cut out these sentences and arrange them into two groups, active and passive.
