This clear, detailed and visually-appealing resource offers a complete reference point for Year 5 children, teachers and parents covering knowledge relating to ‘Sound’, as a part of their science learning. It contains comprehensive sections on: Overview; The Solar System; The Sun and the Moon; The Planets; Planets Facts; Key Vocabulary. The content is fully aligned with the NC expectations for Year 5 children relating to ‘Space’: -describe the movement of the Earth, and other planets, relative to the Sun in the solar system -describe the movement of the Moon relative to the Earth -describe the Sun, Earth and Moon as approximately spherical bodies -use the idea of the Earth’s rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky. The resource is designed to be printed onto A3, and is provided as both a PDF and a Word version (so that you can edit if you want to). All images used are licensed for commercial use and are cited on a separate document (included).

A powerpoint that covers some of the main aspects of space and earth physics at KS3.

Eight lessons using power point presentations to discuss: Theories about earth and space The Big Bang Theory Our Galaxy The formation of our solar System Planets Day and Night on Earth Season The Moon There are worksheets for each lesson.

KS3 Science Edexcel Yr8 Revision Spread and Answer Sheet - Physics: 8L Earth and Space. This A4 revision spread condenses the Edexcel topic 8L onto one A4 sheet which can be printed off and filled in to aid revision and help summarize the topic. A full answer sheet is provided which can be used to mark the filled in revision spread and can also be used as a revision poster.

Difficult to grasp concepts explained graphically with interactivity. How do we know the Earth is a sphere? Sizes of Sun, Earth and Moon Why does the moon have phases? Seasons. Position of Sun in sky.

This worksheet covers the following Ks3 topics (necessary for Checkpoint examination) on Earth in space: The origin of the Universe Collision, asteroids, mass extinctions Collisions and the Moon The life cycle of stars Galaxies

Why we have day time and night time on Earth, seasons and why the moon appears a different shape over the month.

Designed for KS2 learners this fully illustrated, ready-to-use lesson provides an interesting and engaging introduction to Earth and space. It covers national curriculum for science topics including the solar system, geocentric and heliocentric theories and how to tell the time using the Sun. Also featured are some of the astronauts who have travelled into space, the International Space Station and the current Mars missions. The lesson includes an engaging and informative PowerPoint consisting of over 35 slides. It starts with objectives, has a worksheet to complete as the lesson progresses and includes three activities which can be completed in class or given as homework. The PowerPoint includes several links to videos on YouTube to illustrate the lesson. Notes and answers to the worksheet and activities are included. This lesson has five sections: • Earth, Sun and Moon • The solar system • Is the Earth or the Sun at the centre of the solar system? • Telling the time using the Sun • People who have travelled into space Duration: Approximately one hour.

Here, we beckon viewers to see Earth in its cosmic context, which includes the stars, interstellar gases, the moon, the sun, and the solar winds.

KS3 new for the Activate 1 unit ‘Space’. Full lesson ready to use straight ‘out of the box’. Similar structure to my other power points following the input - activity - review phasing plenary sections for progress checking Clear learning objectives and outcomes Modern and engaging layout Little adaptation needed Covers an hour lesson of content matched to the specification 32 ppt slides Please give constructive feedback :D

Planning and resources for Earth and Space (Year 5 Science): A six-seven week unit of work that covers the National Curriculum objectives for Earth and Space.

This is a ‘True or False’ revision lesson for Y5 science Earth and Space. It is differentiated by outcome so students can work through as many as they can. Students highlight true statements green. highlight false statements in pink. They then have to correct the false statements, explaining how they know they’re not true or correcting the information. My students found this incredibly useful coming to the end of their Earth and Space topic. They were allowed to work in small mixed ability groups and it addressed a lot of misconceptions. Before allowing the children to ‘correct’ false statements, I suggest talking through whether the statements are true or false. Some of them are deliberately very challenging and the students need to look carefully at the wording of the statement. A tricky problem solving lesson that all the children enjoy and are actively engaged in.

A bundle I used during a 5 week teaching sequence on Earth and Space in science. Please note; you will need Notebook in order to access the main teaching slides. The slides demonstrate new learning, have the necessary links to web pages and explain how each task needs to be completed. The documents (planning and activities) attached are word documents. Some of the images of these look a little odd - when they are downloaded, everything will go back into the correct place on the document. Lesson/planning overview: 1 - exploring evidence cards linked to the shape of the Earth (flat/spherical) and having a class debate about this before learning that the Earth, sun and moon are approximate spherical bodies 2 - researching key facts about the 8 planets using the internet. Children will then have Top Trump style cards to fill in linked to the 8 planets. Facts will include; distance from sun; orbit of sun; length of day; number of moons; mass; temperature; and explaining if it’s a gas or rocky planet. 3 - learning about the heliocentric/geocentric theory. Children will then make a human model of the heliocentric theory in small groups. 4 - learning about day and night, linking this to time zones. Children will then draw a diagram and label/explain how day and night is formed 5 - learning about phases of the moon and making a ‘phases of the moon’ pin wheel. One lesson (lesson 3) has an extension. There are scaffolds for emerging/working towards children in many of the lessons. I have also attached some of the documents I used as part of my display board. Enjoy!

This is an Earth and Space y5 science topic revision lesson. It recaps all the most important pieces of information for the topic. Students in my class round this incredibly useful before sitting their end of topic assessment. I suggest printing it A3 and glueing into science books.

Earth From Space / Using Satellite Images in Geography A worksheet to support BBC documentary Earth Fro Space, episode 1. Used to help students learn about satellite images and how they are used around the world. Focuses on monitoring changing animal behaviour in different ecosystems and changing landscapes. Could be used as part of a lesson on satellite images or as a geography skills homework task. Find more worksheets to accompany a range of other geography documentaries in my shop.

A wonderful resource showing 28 aerial view images of the Earth, taken from satellites, aeroplanes and drones. Your students will find these photos fascinating! This is a great resource for helping your students to gain a different perspective and understanding of the Earth. This resource is a PDF file, that can either be printed or used as a presentation on a computer or smartboard.
