How we teach Year 6 Science!

Our interactive science platform provides over 700 lessons for children, age 4-14. Today, we are exploring how we teach Year 6 science. Discover how we help your 10 - 11 year old develop their science knowledge and skills.

How we teach year 6 science:

Fully mapped against the UK National Curriculum and seven other worldwide curricula, our Year 6 science programme takes the learner on a journey through lessons which include investigating light, exploring evolution, and understanding the buzz behind static electricity.  With a combination of online learning, quizzing and hands-on practical science experiments throughout, our lessons will really help your children prepare for KS3 science and inspire a love of learning.

With Developing Experts, you will have access over 60 enchanting online science lessons for ages 10 to 11 and learn alongside your child with access to world class scientific experts.  Let us tell you  the ‘story behind the science’ through a plethora of images, films, and songs which give lessons a fun, multi-sensory approach.  Ensure your child makes progress by taking knowledge quizzes and completing investigations in each lesson.  

Year 6 science lesson plans:

Written by teachers for teachers and tutors, our Year 6 science lesson plans will help keep you on track and save time.  Each and every lesson plan is mapped against Year 6 learning objectives for science and ensures coverage of all working scientifically skills, as well as scientific enquiry.  Our lesson plans will guide you through the lesson, so you can easily plan the resources you will need and use our outstanding slideshow presentation, worksheets and films in the best possible way.

Wow! Science facts for kids aged 10 to 11:

Children love learning new science facts, such as: How did humans evolve from chimps?  Why are plants green? And why do things explode?  Each and every lesson contains a storytelling approach, where children learn such facts in an engaging, storified format, fully narrated for you.  Exclusively, each and every science lesson includes a film with one of over 100 world-class scientific experts.  From  farmers to engineers; university professors to marine biologists; we have it covered.  

Science revision for Year 6:

Prepare learners for Key Stage 3 and the next step on their learning journey by using our platform as a science revision tool at home or in class.  With each child having access to a bespoke user area, they can revisit and revise their lessons: taking quizzes, completing worksheets and re-doing experiments as they go.  Move that short-term working memory in to a memorable long-term science story and inspire the scientists of the future!
