Thanks to fellow twitterer Sophie Bessemer for tipping me off about these science resources from BP Educational Services, the education department of the energy company.

For Primary Science, there are some very useful resources in the Young Science Investigators series aimed at KS2 pupils. These resources include the following modules:

• Energy
• Our Environment
• Online Experiments

All these resources are free, but you do need to register with the site to get them although registration is also free.

It’s also worth taking a look at the free resources that you can order and have sent to your school such as posters and CD-ROM materials.

Take a look at these resources and see what you think. Could they be used to support science on your Interactive Whiteboard?

Science by Email looks like it could be a handy resource to keep an eye on:

“In recent years, Science by Email has produced a diverse range of science activities for subscribers to try at home or in the classroom. You can access them via this archive.”

You can also subscribe and have science ideas emailed direct to your inbox. The list is aimed at teachers in Australia, but anyone can join the mailing list.

Another service worth joining is Ictopus, which provides a weekly email of useful lesson ideas for Primary Teachers, for all subjects. It’s free to register, and you get access to the entire archive of past resources.

Here’s a fantastic set of ideas for teaching Science with fun, engaging practical lessons.

These resources are designed to make primary science teaching fun for everyone, including the teacher! They are easy to download and free to copy for use in the classroom. No special equipment or skills are required for any of the lesson plans or demonstrations. New stuff is added regularly.

Some great ideas here for whole lessons and teacher demonstrations.

Head along to the Surfing Scientist and find out more!

The Institute of Physics has produced some useful KS2 PowerPoint presentations which you can use to introduce different physics concepts to your class.

As well as PowerPoints there are suggested activities that you can try out.

You can access the resources here. Click on each topic to see the resources available.

Sparklebox has been an excellent site for teacher resources for download. The site is now even better since everything is now free!

Lots of resources for all subjects, not just science ones.
