Sorting and Grouping Materials

In this lesson on sorting and grouping materials, your KS1 class will begin by seeing if they can match up scientific words such as brittle, transparent and flexible to their definitions.

Then, children will be introduced to Venn diagrams and will practise using them to sort materials as a class. Then, children will have a go themselves at sorting materials into Venn diagrams according to their type or properties. The lesson finishes with a challenge to spot objects in the wrong place on a Venn diagram.

Science Lesson 3

Navigate the asteroid field!

Give your KS1 class control of the spacecraft and see if they can use the compass directions to navigate an asteroid field!

This lesson begins with children practising using the compass directions to guide a spacecraft through a series of planets on a map. However, their newly acquired skills are soon put to use as they have to navigate the spacecraft through an asteroid field! At the end of the lesson, children describe routes to each other and they have to see if they can work out which planet on the map they have been taken to.

This exciting space lesson is sure to engage your KS1 class and everything you need is included. There is an interactive slideshow, a detailed lesson plan with differentiated activities and all the printable resources required.

Geography Lesson 2

An introduction to clay

By the end of this Space Art KS1 lesson, your class will have developed the joining and shaping skills they need to make a clay alien figure.

To begin with, children take part in some activities to develop their shaping and joining skills. They learn how to use their hands to roll a ball, to roll out the clay so it is long and thin, to make a cube, to use a rolling pin to flatten out the clay, and to use clay tools to add pattern and texture to the surface of the clay. They also learn how to join clay using the score and slip method. They make a meal on a plate from the clay and see if others can guess what they have made. They then have the chance to bring together everything they have learnt to create a clay alien figure.

Everything you need to teach this space-themed Art lesson for your KS1 class is included. There is an interactive slideshow, a detailed lesson plan with differentiated activities and all the printable resources required.

Aiming and throwing

Begin this space-themed KS1 PE lesson with a warm-up game of meteor ball in which children must avoid being hit by the meteor!

Then, children will develop their underarm throwing skills in an activity requiring them to knock meteors off course using their 'energy balls'. You can then decide to either play a game of space invaders with your KS1 class or, alternatively, challenge them to work in groups to go on a spacewalk and see how many passes they can make without dropping the ball and losing it forever in outer space!
