Welcome Year 6 Science Workshop
DfE: The research shows that parental involvement in children’s learning is a key factor in improving children’s academic attainment and achievements, as well as their overall behaviour and attendance. The role of parents during a child’s earliest years is the single biggest influence on their development. Good quality home learning contributes more to children’s intellectual and social development than parental occupation, education or income. A parent’s attitudes, aspirations and behaviour are all important, as is their ability to: understand their child’s day-to-day progress undertake family learning together talk regularly with their child about their learning.
Aims Improve understanding of Science at KS2 and give you ideas of how you can help your child. Improve children’s knowledge and understanding.

The Science Around Us 1. How do shadows form? 2. How long does it take the earth to rotate once its axis? 3. How do we see objects? 4. What do leaves do? 5. What is this tooth called? 6. What features does this animal have that make it adapted to its environment?
Investigating What could we investigate? What method would we use? What would we measure? What variables would we keep the same to keep it a fair test?
