Preview Resource

Children group pictures of living things by visible external features, compare safe material samples for a museum purpose, and observe how shapes move on a low ramp. They ask questions, make predictions, record actual observations, compare repeated results and explain how evidence supports a choice. The class curates three exhibits: living features, materials and movement.

What's included

Ten separate editable lesson PowerPoints, with 10 slides each (100 lesson slides).
One separate editable 24-slide quiz: ten questions with answer slides, joining-in instructions, reflection and closing.
A 47-page Unit Plan PDF with ten timed teacher plans, a compact eight-session route, preparation and access guidance, two colour displays, two case-card pages, a three-page Evidence Trail game, ten black-and-white worksheets with ten matched red sample-answer pages, quiz guidance, two assessment pages and an anchored rubric.
A clean Table of Contents JPEG.
A 171-page watermarked Preview PDF showing the full 47-page pack, all ten lesson decks in order, then the quiz.
Separate TPT, Etsy and Website listing-copy text files.

Learning focus

Describe and group organisms by visible external features while distinguishing a living thing from its picture or toy representation.
Connect a tested material property to a particular museum job, then consider a new firm-support purpose.
Predict and describe movement, keep a comparison consistent, repeat and retain actual results.
Explain a claim using the relevant record, compare a prediction with an observation, and ask a useful next question.

Classroom use

Choose ten 60-minute lessons, or follow the supplied eight-session route. The compact route combines lessons 02+03 and 09+10 using selected teaching and task slides; all essential exhibit and assessment evidence is gathered by the end of session eight. The quiz supports the practical assessment. It does not replace individual observation records.

Use school-approved plants or the supplied organism pictures; leave wildlife undisturbed. Water tests use equal-size safe paper and plastic samples, identical dry cards, five drops and a one-minute wait. Movement tests use large objects, a stable low ramp, the same release line and a soft barrier. An adult prepares and supervises the activities. Results are recorded after testing; red answer pages show illustrative examples or response criteria, and actual results may differ.

Differentiation and Assessment:

Prompts can be read aloud. Learners may speak, point, draw, choose a picture, use a communication board or device, dictate, or share a recording. Support, core and extension choices retain the same science thinking. Assess reasoning and evidence rather than handwriting or public-speaking confidence.

The three-exhibit organiser, teacher evidence conference and four-dimension rubric record individual understanding, evidence/process, explanation/application and reflection/responsibility. A new material-support task and changed grouping rule check transfer.
