To provide students with understandings of matter, its properties and uses, and how different substances are created through chemical change.

Distinguish between physical and chemical change. Investigate the behaviour of chemicals when mixed. Explore ways of producing a chemical change.

In addition to reactions, this unit will focus more on the energy that is produced.

Investigate and compare the properties of each state of matter, how changes occur, suitability and application for use. chemical change.

Liquids, the water cycle and experiments to focus on scientific language, observation and techniques.

Investigate different ways to make bubbles and the forces in play. Study how they interact with light and work out how to predict the exact moment they will pop.

(Grades P-2) Investigate the role of a forensic scientist through puzzle based experiments.
(Grades 3-6) A crime will be set. Students will apply chemical testing skills, interpret data and develop an understanding of how scientific evidence is used to solve a crime.

Investigate the release of huge amounts of energy and it’s ‘Domino Effect’. Through models and experiments study the cause and effect, and the inner and outer forces.

What is a machine? Combine human and technological elements to evaluate the most suitable system for a task. Investigate how levers, wedges, rollers, pulleys and gears are utilised to conserve energy, change direction of force and combine to make a more complex machine.

Involves the scientific application of knowledge, skills, equipment, materials, energy and data to create useful products. Each unit incorporates the four phases of the technological process: investigating, designing, producing and evaluating.

Look at howman has changed natural materiaks into useful producys for our socoety. Test and evaluate, using different scientific techniques.

Students study and classify a number of toys concentrating on the concepts of energy and materials used. Design and make a couple of toys to explore how a toy is invented: materials, design, purpose and marketing.

What is the difference between music and noise? Investigate the effect of materials on quality of sound. Make an instrument and play with the ‘Recycle Orchestra’.

This unit can be linked with your curriculum at times such as Christmas and Easter. Chemistry/Decorations Gimmicks / material tecnology / chemical reactions / how things work

Is a spider an animal? What are the differences between animals and plants?

Identify mini-beasts in your school's yard. Study and classify our collection of creature specimens. Perform simple experiments to learn about their behaviour.

Clever Plants(Grades 3-6)
Explore the chemistry of plants: Chlorophyll, plant poo, gas, transportation, survival and more. Classify our collection of water and land specimens. Experiment with our carnivorous plants. Make a variety of hot houses for ongoing investigations.
