Science Express – Life Processes
Take The Science Express to Buttercup Village where pupils can learn all about life processes and living things with the help of Daisy, the train driver, and Doug, a curious young boy. Doug leads pupils around the village to five engaging activities that are designed to develop scientific understanding and investigation skills, for example, pupils can select healthy lunches from the school kitchen, go on a Nature Trail around the village or grow new plants at the Garden Centre. In addition, Daisy’s short, focused ‘test’ activities enable pupils to consolidate their understanding of key objectives and they can be completed in narration-free ‘on your own’ mode making them perfect for teacher-led work on an interactive whiteboard.
