The greenhouse effect investigation
Our planet is constantly affected by different forces and factors – many of which are caused by humans. We often hear about something called “the greenhouse effect”… but what is it? The greenhouse effect is when our planet heats up due to harmful gases collecting in our atmosphere. This simple investigation will show you how it happens!
Night and day investigation
What causes us to have a night and a day? Why is it night on one side of the Earth but day on the other? Let's investigate!
Life cycles card game
This game is designed to help you revise the key stages in different life cycles. The aim of the game is to collect all four stages in each life cycle.
Cleaning water experiment
In this activity you will learn how to clean some water!
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
Using onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is describing a sound by using a word that actually makes that sound. Splash, whir, clang... what other onomatopeic sounds do you like? Think about when you get into school in the morning. What sounds do you hear? Use this table to help you and then write your own poem similar to the one above (it doesn’t have to rhyme!).
Using concrete and abstract nouns
Each of these sentences is missing a concrete noun and an abstract noun; can you add them in? Once you’ve finished, underline concrete nouns in blue and abstract nouns in red.
Using alliteration
Alliteration is using words that start with the same letter or sound for literary effect. Alliteration is often used in poetry and persuasive writing. Look at the name in each of these ‘empty’ sentences. You need to find all the other words that start with this letter in the table below. See if you can work out how to organise the words so that the sentences make sense.
Understanding active and passive
In each of the following cases, turn the sentence from passive to active or active to passive.
