This pack has been developed by subject specialists to support science learning at KS2/3. The audio-visual pack combining Talking Charts and CD Roms provides key information about different subject areas and explains processes and procedures. Games then function as a comprehension exercise, challenging children to remember and apply their knowledge. The charts can be tailored to suit specific groups – teachers can recor their own information onto any soundspot.(Age 9-14)

The pack includes:

• 1 PENpal • 20 A3 Interactive Science posters • 4 A3 Laminated Science
Processes posters • 2 Science CD Roms • 300 Recordable Talking Stickers.

Charts included in this pack are :

Chemistry

• Material Characteristics: Find out about the properties that make different materials suitable for different purposes • The Rock Cycle: Learn about how rocks are formed, changed over time and eventually recycled • Solid, Liquid, Gas: Learn about the properties of these three different states of matter • The Periodic Table: Discover the different elements that make up our universe and ow particles are made up • The Water Cycle: Follow the water in its endless cycle through the earth, oceans and air.

Science Investigation Charts

Gives continuous support for the full investigative cycle - from planning to manipulating data, evaluation, and eventual writing-up of the aural hints and definitions of subject specific vocabulary. Record answers and ideas before writing them down. This is a fantastic way to monitor children’s development.
