Find Out About Science (age 5-7)

Young children are our guides as we explore the world around us and investigate ALL units from the QCA scheme of work for Key Stage 1 Science.

Engaging BBC video clips and interactive games bring topics to life, from how animals move, feed and grow, to how materials change with squashing, bending or twisting, to how forces are at work all around us.

Key features:

• Assessment opportunities are highlighted and simple ideas for differentiating are available for all activities.
• Each topic is introduced in a very child-friendly context, ensuring pupils are involved and motivated to find out more and creating an active learning experience.
• The teacher's book makes planning quick and simple. It highlights cross-curricular links and is packed with suggestions for extending your pupils' learning and making lessons dynamic and fun.
