Living Things

Learning about living things is a very important part of science. Humans like yourself are part of this group and the more you can learn about how your body works the better. There are also lots of games & activities to do with other living things such as animals & plants.

Food chains Learn about various living things such as animals and plants, sort them into different categories and discover where they fit into the food chain.		Keeping yourself healthy Learn how to keep yourself healthy by discovering how different exercises such as walking and running can affect your heart rate.
Micro organisms Learn about micro organisms and why they are important to living things, spot places where you think micro organisms might be at work.		How plants grow Learn about how plants grow by experimenting with different conditions. Using heat & water, see if you can make the plant grow to a healthy size.
Human body health & growth Learn how living things grow and stay healthy. Use water, food and exercise to provide a human with what they need to stay healthy.		Skeleton & bones Learn about moving & growing by sorting and labelling the bones from skeletons of things such as an insect, fish, horse or human.
Teeth & eating Learn what different animals eat and how it affects the size and shape of their teeth. What are some of the differences & how have they adapted over time?		Plant & animal differences Learn the differences between animals & plants, sort them into different categories and discover more about birds, mammals, insects & plants.
Plants & animals Learn about plants & animals as you spot them in an outdoor scene, discover more about where plants and animals live.		Life cycle of a plant Learn about life cycles by sorting the parts of a flower, discovering what each part does and how in contributes to the life cycle of a living thing.

Physical Processes

This selection of games & activities include some of the physical processes that control our everyday lives. Find out how electricity works, how our eyes use light to see, how forces such as friction work and the physics behind how the earth sun & moon behave.

Changing electricity circuits Learn about electricity circuits as you experiment with batteries, voltages and light bulbs. Wire them in different ways for surprising outcomes.
