Animals, including humans (KS1 – KS2)

Animal Parts

This project teaches children about animals, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and invertebrates.

Human Senses

This project teaches children that humans are a type of animal, known as a mammal. They name body parts and recognise common structures between humans and other animals. They learn about the senses, the body parts associated with each sense and their role in keeping us safe.

Paws, Claws and Whiskers

Develop children’s knowledge of shape, colour, pattern and texture with Paws, Claws and Whiskers, our comprehensively resourced art and design project. The supporting high-quality teaching resources help Year 1 children observe, draw and recreate wild animals and pets, as they find out more about them.

Animal Survival

This project teaches children about growth in animals by exploring life cycles of some familiar animals. They build on learning about the survival of humans, by identifying the basic needs of animals for survival, including food, water, air and shelter.

Habitats

This project teaches children about habitats and what a habitat needs to provide. They explore local habitats to identify and name living things and begin to understand how they depend on one another for food and shelter.

Human Survival

This project teaches children about the basic needs of humans for survival, including the importance of exercise, nutrition and good hygiene. They learn how human offspring grow and change over time into adulthood.

Wriggle and Crawl

Develop children’s knowledge of living things and their habitats with our pre-planned and comprehensively resourced science project, Wriggle and Crawl. Our high-quality teaching resources help Year 2 children identify, observe and investigate minibeasts, and understand life cycles.

Animal Nutrition and the Skeletal System

This project teaches children about the importance of nutrition for humans and other animals. They learn about the role of a skeleton and muscles and identify animals with different types of skeleton.

Predator!

Develop children’s knowledge of predatory animals and plants with our pre-planned and comprehensively resourced science project, Predator! Our high-quality teaching resources help Year 3 children understand food chains, habitats and learn the key parts and functions of animals and plants.

Burps, Bottoms and Bile

Develop children’s knowledge of the digestive system with our pre-planned and comprehensively resourced science project, Burps, Bottoms and Bile. Our high-quality teaching resources help children learn about teeth, bodily functions, healthy eating and, of course, poo!

Food and the Digestive System

This project teaches children about the human digestive system. They explore the main parts, starting with the mouth and teeth, identifying teeth types and their functions. They link this learning to animals’ diets and construct food chains to show the flow of energy.

Human Reproduction and Ageing

This project teaches children about the human life cycle. They explore growth and development to old age, including the changes experienced during puberty and human reproduction.

Blood Heart

Teach children about the human circulatory system and heart health in our pre-planned science project, Blood Heart. This Year 6 project and supporting resources develop children’s knowledge about the workings of the heart and significant medical discoveries.

Circulatory System

This project teaches children about the transport role of the human circulatory system, its main parts and their primary functions. They learn about healthy lifestyle choices and the effects of harmful substances on the body.
