This activity comes as a presentation, aimed at using an engaging material to probe the children's thinking, reasoning and scientific talk skills. Asking questions such as: ‘How is this crystal formed?’, and ‘What causes the colours?’ It provides an opportunity to get the children thinking and talking ‘science’, by...

Bloomsbury Discovery books are part of a new series covering a range of high-interest topics... from space and the solar system to rainforests. Learning has never been...

In this lesson children investigate the insulating properties of blubber and consider how the adaptations of Arctic organisms help develop these.

Children imagine what it would be like to live in a really cold place like the Arctic. How would they keep themselves warm?

The most astonishing and complex organism on earth - the human body - is explored in this dynamic series. Specialist photography and state-of-the-art digital illustration...

This is a competitive game which tests children’s knowledge of bones, joints and their function.

This unplugged activity from Peter McOwan and Paul Curzon mingles computer science with biology. A group activity is used that mimics the firing of neurons within the brain. These trigger other neurons to fire – these can be compared to AND gates in logic circuits.

The ‘brain in a bag’ kits used in the...

These experiments are designed to support teachers of upper primary level pupils to carry out experimental science in the classroom, and relate it to real world experiences.
