Everything you need for the Y6 science topic.
This really well designed pack offers you the teacher usable resources to cover this science topic.
The pack has been designed to create specific lessons to cover: building a circuit, circuitry testing, conductors and insulators, safety poster design, dangers of using electricity, batteries and mains power and how they are used and how electricity is found in all animals. The pack boast power points, pdf documents, printable topic banners for your science board and tonnes of learning materials for your children to explore.
I love the mini packs as they reduce my planning time and help me create lessons that I know children will enjoy. They also come with the added bonus of instant printable displays (banners, images, word banks and bunting) so you can quickly change your topic boards.
Another well deserved 5 stars.
P.S. If your using very technical pre-written plans (you know the ones I'm talking about) with boring images and even more boring sheets of questions and facts, and then you find yourself losing 2 hours on a Sunday afternoon adapting those plans... take a look at the free downloads available from Teaching Packs. The thing I love most about these resources is they allow me to teach interesting lessons that I can plan quickly, simply and with printable resources that encourage the children to talk, explore and think.
This pack has high quality visual aids suitable for a a wide age group - this is something that takes me a long time if starting from scratch to create and Teaching Packs really help me maintain a good work/life balance. I find all the resources relevant (yet adaptable if needed) plus well matched to the children's learning outcomes.
Another comprehensive Mini Pack. Everything I need to cover electricity in a Primary setting. Designing and discussing circuits on paper and learning about safety before testing them out with actual components.
Thank you Teaching Packs.
