A mechanism is a device which takes an input motion or force, and outputs a different motion and force. In this lesson, students will learn about different mechanisms such as pulleys, gears and levers. They will see how each works in everyday life and learn the science behind them. They will be asked to identify which mechanism from the images and will complete a quiz mid-way through to check understanding. They will then carry out an experiment creating their own levers before designing their own machines using what they have learnt. The activity sheets are provided which guide them through this process. This lesson is 1/6 lessons on Forces.

Microorganisms are small organisms invisible to the naked eye because of their extremely small size. They are grouped into various groups like Bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses. Many of these organisms are useful to human and nature while some are harmful and even cause diseases. In this lesson, students will learn about the 5 different types of microorganisms: fungi, bacteria, algae, viruses and protozoa. They will watch videos which explain their dangers but also their uses and they will tasked to determine which is helpful and harmful from the examples given. Following this, they will carry out an experiment looking at the conditions which cause mould to grow on bread. The experiment investigation sheet is provided. This is an engaging lesson which comes with an interactive power point presentation and all corresponding activity worksheets.

Electricity is a type of energy that can build up in one place or flow from one place to another. Electricity is the flow of electrons. In this lesson, students will learn how electricity is measured and what voltage is. They will learn that citrus fruits can be used as a battery to power electrical current and will investigate which citrus fruit is best to use. A writing frame will be provided for the experiment as well as an engaging powerpoint presentation to support them through the learning. This lesson is 1/5 on Electricity.

Gravity or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy, including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another. In this lesson, students will be taught what gravity is and how it affects us and how it is different in space. They will learn about Sir Isaac Newton and how weight is different to mass. They will then carry out two experiments- in the first experiment they will measure objects with scales and a newton meter in order to show the difference between weight and mass. After this, they will compare the mass and speed of falling objects to investigate whether the heavier an object, the faster it falls. Both investigations come with a worksheet to follow.
