Earth & Space Detective KS2

Earth & Space Detective KS2 is a five-mission Year 5 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for Earth and Space. Children describe the Sun, Earth and Moon as approximately spherical bodies, learn that the Sun is a star at the centre of the solar system, match the Earth’s roughly 365-day orbit of the Sun, the Moon’s roughly 28-day orbit of the Earth and the Earth’s 24-hour rotation to their time-spans, use rotation to explain day and night and why the Sun only appears to move across the sky, and put the eight planets in order from Mercury to Neptune. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
