With over 15 years' experience in science education, my focus is on creating high-quality, visually engaging resources that support both teaching and learning. Research consistently shows that well-organised, clearly presented materials can significantly improve student outcomes by reducing cognitive load and enhancing retention. I aim to provide resources which are not only effective, but ready to use.

Bundle of different resources designed around the theme ‘Living in Space’ for Space Week 2025. Aimed at Year 5/6, but most activities would be accessible for Year 3/4.
Download includes:
Science experiment - grow seeds like an astronaut (growing cress seeds on soil, cotton wool and paper towel - with and without water). Includes introductory information, instruction sheet, results table, write-up template (aim, method, hypothesis, conclusion etc). I would suggest starting this experiment on a Monday morning, then the children can examine the seeds each day for the rest of the week and record their results.
History - timeline of key space events, cut and stick activity.
Design a space base worksheet.
Creative writing task - ‘A day in the life on Mars’ (word bank included - more suited to Year 5/6).
My favourite planet worksheet.
5 colouring in pages (simple designs).
Space bingo game (display the image of 12 space themed words at the front of the classroom, each child picks 6 words and writes them on their bingo card. Teacher randomly picks 6 words and first child to mark off all 6 of their words wins). There are 924 different combinations of the 12 words with each child picking 6, so pretty unlikely that more than one child will pick the same combination!
