This series of seven teachers' guides provides a structured approach to planning science lessons for students in years R-Y6, aligning with the UK Curriculum. It offers comprehensive coverage and a variety of choices, with units designed to support the QCA's 'Science Scheme of Work.' The guides specifically address the challenges of introducing science to 4 and 5-year-olds, with lesson objectives based on Early Learning Goals and the National Curriculum content. Each unit is set in engaging contexts that facilitate cross-curricular activities, such as small world play or role-play, with themes like 'On The Farm' or 'At The Garden Centre.' The units include: Unit 1 Ourselves: This Is Me!; Unit 2 Animals and Plants: Looking At Animals and Plants; Unit 3 The Environment: Out and About; Unit 4 Materials: Exploring Materials; Unit 5 Electricity: Making Things Work; Unit 6 Forces and Motion: Pushing and Pulling; Unit 7 Light and Sound: Looking and Listening; Unit 8 Earth and Beyond: Up In The Sky. This flexible framework simplifies planning, follows current curriculum trends, and provides advice on introductory activities and interactive teaching, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the UK curriculum.
