Free Year 3 Science Lesson Plans for Teachers

Five Year 3 science lessons covering the full lower Key Stage 2 year: Plants, Animals Including Humans, Rocks, Light, and Forces and Magnets. Each deck is designed for whole-class teaching, combining clear diagrams, key vocabulary and investigation prompts.

The England National Curriculum's KS2 programme of study asks Year 3 pupils to explain the functions of parts of a plant, understand nutrition and skeletons, compare and group rocks, explore how shadows form, and investigate magnetic attraction. These lessons cover that content and thread working scientifically skills, from fair testing to recording and concluding, through the activities.

Adapt any deck in Chalkie before you teach: add your own investigation results, regenerate questions, or trim slides to fit the session. For teachers juggling several subjects, these Year 3 science lessons take a unit from blank page to ready-to-present in minutes. The vocabulary slides double as a knowledge organiser for the unit, and the built-in questions make quick end-of-unit assessment checks.
