🦉 Why do we learn science?

Science is asking questions and finding out by testing. Scientists predict, try it, look closely and explain why. It explains why things float, why vinegar fizzes and how birds fly.

Physics & chemistry

Physics Lab

Ramps and friction, levers, float or sink, magnets, light and shadows, sound and circuits, each with a real experiment to try at home.

FoundationsLevel 2Level 3

Chemistry Lab

Solids, liquids and gases, dissolving, a density tower, red-cabbage acids and bases, fizzing reactions and growing crystals.

FoundationsLevel 2Level 3

Living things

Flying Creatures

What makes a bird a bird, how wings lift, beaks and nests, bats and echolocation, insects, life cycles and honeybees.

FoundationsLevel 2Level 3

Nature Explorers

Six expeditions: dig up dinosaur fossils, sort sea creatures into ocean zones, find rainforest layers, Arctic or Antarctic, erupt a volcano and build an insect, each with something to try at home.

FoundationsLevel 2Level 3

Advanced

Forces & Energy

Speed, Newton's laws with numbers, gravity and weight, friction, energy changes and simple machines.

Level 3Level 4Level 5

Atoms & Elements

Inside an atom, the periodic table, molecules, states of matter and balanced reactions.

Level 3Level 4Level 5

Space & Astronomy

Planets to scale, seasons, moon phases, gravity and orbits, stars, and space exploration.

Level 3Level 4Level 5

Human Body

Cells and the body's systems: heart and blood, lungs, digestion, bones and muscles, brain and nerves.

Level 3Level 4Level 5

Earth Science

Earth's layers, rocks, plates and volcanoes, weather, the water cycle and climate.
