Evolution & Inheritance KS2 is a five-mission Year 6 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for evolution and inheritance. Children learn that living things produce offspring of the same kind that still vary from their parents, sort inherited characteristics from environmental ones, investigate how animals and plants such as the camel, polar bear and cactus are adapted to survive, and discover how fossils provide evidence for evolution and how Charles Darwin explained natural selection. 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.
Light Detective KS2 is a five-mission Year 3/6 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for light. Children discover that we need light to see and that dark is the absence of light, sort light sources such as the sun, torch, lamp and candle from objects that only reflect light such as mirrors and the Moon, use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain how we see objects, and investigate how opaque objects form shadows that change size and how mirrors reflect light — including the vital rule never to look directly at the Sun. 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.
Plants Detective KS2 is a five-mission Year 3 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for plants. Children identify the roots, stem, leaves and flower and describe the job each one does, work out what plants need to grow well — light, water, a suitable temperature, air and room with nutrients from the soil — investigate how water is transported up the stem, and follow the life cycle of a flowering plant through germination, growth, flowering, pollination, seed formation and seed dispersal. 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.
Properties & Changes of Materials KS2 is a five-mission Year 5 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum. Children compare and group everyday materials by hardness, solubility, transparency, electrical and thermal conductivity, magnetism and flexibility; investigate how soluble solids dissolve to form a solution and are recovered by evaporation; decide how mixtures can be separated by filtering, sieving and evaporating; and sort everyday changes into reversible ones (melting, freezing, dissolving) and irreversible ones (burning, rusting, mixing vinegar with bicarbonate of soda, baking a cake) that make a new material. 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.
Rocks & Fossils Detective KS2 is a five-mission Year 3 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for rocks. Children group rocks into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic from real-world clues, compare them by hardness and by whether they are permeable or impermeable, describe how fossils are formed in sedimentary rock over millions of years, meet pioneering fossil hunter Mary Anning, and discover that soil is made from broken rock plus organic matter. 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.
Sound Detective KS2 is a five-mission Year 4 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum unit on sound. Children discover that sounds are made when objects vibrate, that vibrations travel through a solid, liquid or gas medium to the ear drum and cannot travel through a vacuum, how pitch depends on how fast an object vibrates and on its length, tightness and thickness, and how volume depends on the size (amplitude) of the vibration and fades with distance, finishing with a muffling investigation and a fair-test task. 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.
