Welcome to The Science Brainery!!

This is the online membership site of LoveScience and we are glad to have you here.

In the free nano club, you will find a taster of what we have on offer in the Mega Club with experiments to try, games to have a go and science stories to inspire!

*Live KS2 and KS3 classes every week - with supporting resources and games

* Access to all our online holiday clubs

*25% discount on all our kits

Rainbows, magic ink and spying - we've got it all in the light and colour course.

Zoom sessions are on Thursdays 9th, 16th & 23rd June at 1.30. 

*Limited spaces*

Curriculum Links

Year 4 - States of matter

• compare and group materials together, according to whether they are solids, liquids or gases
• observe that some materials change state when they are heated or cooled, and measure or research the temperature at which this happens in degrees Celsius
• identify the part played by evaporation and condensation in the water cycle and associate the rate of evaporation with temperature

Curriculum Links

Year 6 - Light

recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines

use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye

explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes

use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them

Curriculum Links

Year 5 - Earth and Space

• describe the movement of the Earth, and other planets, relative to the Sun in the solar system
• describe the movement of the Moon relative to the Earth
• describe the Sun, Earth and Moon as approximately spherical bodies
• use the idea of the Earth's rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky.

Year 5 - Properties and changes of materials

• compare and group together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including their hardness, solubility, transparency, conductivity (electrical and thermal) and response to magnets
• know that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution
• use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating
• give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials, including metals, wood and plastic
• demonstrate the dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes
• explain that some changes result in the formation of new materials and that this kind of change is not usually reversible, including changes associated with burning and the action of acid on bicarbonate of soda

Curriculum Links

Year 5 - Forces

• explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and a falling object
• identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction, that act between moving surfaces
• recognise that some mechanisms, including levers, pulleys and gears, allow a smaller force to have a greater effect

Curriculum links

Year 6 - Evolution and Inheritance 

• recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago
• recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents
• identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution

CURRICULUM LINKS:

Year 6 - Animals Including Humans

• identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood
• recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function
• describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals, including humans

CURRICULUM LINKS:

Year 6 - Electricity 

• associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit.
• compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches
• use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram
