This year’s theme is growth, which provides a great opportunity to explore the science of the human body. Everything which is alive and growing has its own DNA. Get your year 6 pupils to investigate and make their own double helix model with our lesson pack.
We have two FREE activities based on plants which are suitable for all year groups.
To help keep science going all week, we have lots of reading comprehension linking to the theme for you to use in your reading time.
