Science Virtual Experiments

Another resource I use to plan Science, and one that is especially effective in SATs revision is Collins' Science Virtual Experiments.

Virtual Experiments is a whole-class, interactive teaching tool that contains simulations of key QCA Scheme of Work experiments. Available for Years 1 to 6, it is ideal for helping to explain scientific concepts that are difficult to demonstrate in the classroom, such as the movement of the earth around the sun, and for helping to deliver science in a simple, time-effective way, with no mess and no fuss.

I have found it works brilliantly as a plenary activity and also to revise various topics in the build up to SATs. Recommended.
