In this blog, discover how we help your Year 3 learner develop their science knowledge and skills as they make the transition from key stage 1 to key stage 2.

Get a head-start on planning your science education with our comprehensive lesson and course planning feature.  All science lesson plans guide you smoothly through our multi-sensory slideshow, explain how to respond to activities and tasks and offer challenging objectives for children to meet.

Detailing the resources and knowledge you need to confidently deliver the lesson to children, our lesson plans will give you the structure and assurance you need.

Fun experiments, quizzes and worksheets for Year 3 science:

Encourage a love of learning for children with our broad range of science activities designed for children aged 7-8.  Take learners through a series of enquiries and practical investigations, such as making their own periscope, creating a model skeleton and taking an imprint in time to the create a fossil.

Complementing the activities, our stimulating quizzes give children the chance to put their knowledge to the test.  Assess progress further using our visually-appealing science worksheets and investigation templates.
