What’s included in the Y3/4 Winter Olympics 5-Minute Science resource and why is it useful?

Y3/4 Winter Olympics 5-Minute Science is a set of three revision worksheets covering the Winter Olympics. These have been designed to give your children up to three opportunities to engage in deliberate practice outside of the teaching of the topic. This resource covers light and reflection, friction on smooth and rough surfaces, magnetic and non-magnetic metals, types of rock and their suitability, the parts of a simple circuit, conductors and insulators, how sound fades with distance, melting as the temperature rises above 0°C, nutrition, the skeleton and muscles, and how habitats change.

How do our 5 Minute Science resources work?

As these resources are designed for re-cap and revision, you could use 5 Minute Science resources during the Winter Olympics for early morning work, alongside your other Winter Olympics activities or later in the year as a re-cap. The content across the three worksheets re-visits national curriculum objectives from across the Y3/4 science curriculum rather than a single unit.
