Science Resource Files

The LCP Science Resource Files offer a cross-curricular approach to primary science by providing lesson plans, medium term plans and activity sheets that overlap other subject areas.

The package comprises:

• a ring-binder packed with a wealth of primary science lesson plans, medium term plans and child-friendly activities that will save you hours of preparation time
• an editable version of the whole file, in Microsoft® Word, so you can adapt it to suit your school

The science lesson plans are produced in a step-by-step layout that offers guidance on resources, classroom organization, questioning techniques and teaching strategies.

Plus there's helpful scientific background information, written specially for the primary teacher. This provides more detail on the topic covered in each unit and enables the teacher to feel more confident when delivering each science lesson.

Each lesson plan includes:

• detailed teaching notes
• pupils' resource sheets
• National Curriculum links
• clearly-stated objectives
• literacy, numeracy and ICT links
• extension activities
• science vocabulary
