Science

Short concept tutorials for introducing an idea or revising it, built around particle simulations. Each one is a mini 5E cycle (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) for one idea in the curriculum. They sit beside practical work and class discussion, never instead of it.

Chemistry

The particle model, mixtures, atoms and compounds, chemical change, then reactions at the level of atoms.

Biology

Classification and food webs, cells and organs, coordination and reproduction, then genetics and evolution.

Physics

Forces and motion, how energy moves, and Newton's laws.

Earth and space

The Earth, sun and moon; rocks, Earth's layers and moving plates; the carbon cycle; the big bang and Earth's energy balance.
