An interactive whiteboard resource designed to extend understanding of feeding relationships. Suitable for upper KS2. Pupils are reminded of feeding relationships and food webs are revised. They are then asked to consider what would happen if one section of the web was changed or removed. Introduced to the term interdependence. Pupils then continue to investigate the effects on an ecosystem when part of it is altered in any way. Simplified models are shown and it should be stressed that the effects are far more complex in reality.

This interactive activity asks the pupils to identify the forces used to move an object. Several examples are given where the force (push, pull or twist) needs to be identified, eg to push a door open. The pupils are then asked to sort a collection of toys into those which are used by pulling or pushing. As a result of this activity the pupils should be able to describe the movement of familiar things, and to know that pushes and pulls are examples of forces. The activity allows for the development of vocabulary, giving the opportunity to introduce the term 'force'.

What changes take place when a candle is lit and then placed inside flasks of different volume.

Compare materials to assess their similarities and differences, and to categorise them by their properties.

Six flipchart lessons covering cross curricular work in science (keys) and IT (branching databases). The materials cover comparing and contrasting online keys (or databases) based on tree identification. The children are then shown how to make a multimedia branching keys using PowerPoint. Contains worksheets, and photo packs.

Through doing the interactive activities in this pack, pupils should: * know the difference between pushing and pulling * understand the effects of pushing and pulling on stationary objects * be able to predict what will happen when a toy car is pushed * be able to draw conclusions from an investigation * relate what they have learned to everyday occurrences.

This interactive resource helps children identify an animal living in the environment around them, how seasons affect it and how our actions can impact on its life. The resource encourages children to ask and answer questions and consider how they can demonstrate care, responsibility and concern for living things in their area.

Test your knowledge about food safety

An interactive resource that teaches children to name parts of the body.

To develop understanding of the lifecycle of a plant.

A resource which enables the pupils to learn about the Earth, moon, planets and the sun.

A resource aimed at developing pupil’s knowledge regarding the identification of swans, to study their place within the environment, the life cycle of a swan and factors that affect this particular animal within its environment. There are 6 activities that include the use of video footage. There are activities to encourage independent research, discussion and the development of thinking skills. There is also an opportunity to look at the environmental factors that affect swans.

A series of interactive activities that develop number through Science. The activities have been classified as shown below: •Interdependence of organisms •The sustainable Earth •How things work •Assortment

These five flipcharts cover the following topics: • Ourselves • Looking after yourself • Green plants • Grouping materials • Forces and motion.

The resources contain ACTIVstudio2 flipcharts for use with Promethean Whiteboards and also PowerPoint presentations. These are contained within the relevant files. The resources support a study on the properties of materials and food. A brief summary of the resources are outlined below. The MatchFood and MatchMaterials flipcharts highlight the differences between foods and materials respectively as well as providing simple classification exercises. The quizzes flipcharts aim to stimulate further investigations through asking pupils questions of the nature ‘what will happen next?’

A series of video and interactive activities based on the red kite that allows pupils to undertake a range of scientific enquiries. The resource includes activities that will encourage collaboration and develop thinking in addition to a range of Big Questions that can be investigated further.
