This resource is for teachers to use in Sciences for Second (P5-P7).
Plants what they need to grow and why we need them
This resource is aimed at Level 2 students studying plant germination and decay by microorganisms. Through this resource school learners develop their scientific knowledge, skills and scientific literacy in addition to honing their practical skills. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in sciences for Second (P5-P7).
Fertilisers in food production
Brief project covering both the life cycle of plants and where food comes from. The project involves growing baked beans ingredients and includes different recipes for having a baked bean “bake-off”. This resource contains a class workbook and a practitioner’s guide. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in sciences IDL for Second (P5-P7).
Astrobiology in the classroom
Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution and distribution of life in the Universe. The lesson plans in this Astrobiology Collection are designed to cover a wide diversity of topics in biology, chemistry and physics that encompass some of the most fascinating questions in science such as: How did life originate? Is there life beyond Earth? Will humans explore and settle other worlds? This resource is for teachers to use in Sciences for Third-Fourth and higher.
Earth’s materials: volcanic eruptions
Four lessons giving an introduction to volcanoes and various aspects of geology. This resource is for teachers to use in sciences IDL for Second / Third (P5 – S3).
Bees and Biodiversity (including STEM)
Three lessons on the contribution that bees make to our planet on the topics of pollination, bee diversity, and hexagons in the bee hive (STEM activity). This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in Sciences/maths for Second (P5-P7).
Coanda Effect
The Coanda Effect is often misunderstood. It describes what happens when a high-speed jet of air (or liquid) surrounded by the same fluid passes near an object or a curved surface. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in Sciences (related to SCN 2-07a) for Second (P5-P7).
Climate change game
A card game to develop HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) using climate change in the Alps. Learners discuss whether a fictional ski instructor should exchange his skis for bicycle wheels. Included in this guide is ‘Meet the Scientists’, about the real climate scientists. This resource is for teachers to use in Sciences/ languages (german) for Second / Third (P5 – S3).
