Lesson Plans

Identifying types of human teeth

Bring your Year 4 class outdoors for a hands-on science adventure exploring human teeth! Pupils will eagerly investigate different types of teeth using mirrors, craft detailed diagrams with natural loose materials, and uncover the fascinating link between tooth structure and diet. This interactive lesson makes learning memorable, active, and fun—perfect for curious young scientists.

Learning objective:

To identify the different types of teeth in humans.

Describing the digestive system

Take your Year 4 class on an unforgettable outdoor science adventure exploring the human digestive system!

This lively, interactive lesson makes complex concepts tangible and exciting for young learners.

Learning objective:

To describe how the digestive system works.

Identifying producers, prey and predators

Take your Year 4 class outdoors for a hands-on science adventure exploring producers, prey, and predators! Pupils will investigate food chains by examining ‘poo’ samples to discover animal diets and engage in a lively, interactive game that models predator-prey relationships—making learning both memorable and active.

Learning objective:

To identify producers, prey and predators.

Constructing food chains

Lead your Year 4 class on an exciting outdoor science lesson where they actively construct and interpret food chains and webs using living thing cards. This hands-on approach ensures a memorable and engaging learning experience, solidifying their understanding of producers, prey, and predators.

Learning objective:
