Spark scientific thinking and real-world enquiry for learners aged 7–8 with the Year Three Science collection from Hands-On Education. This shop is packed with lesson packs, printable resources, and hands-on activities that make science fun, practical, and accessible both in the classroom and at home.

Year Three Science resources help children explore core curriculum areas: rocks and soils, plants and growth, animals (including humans), nutrition, skeletons and muscles, light and shadows, forces and magnets, and basic science processes. Lessons nurture curiosity as children ask questions, make predictions, investigate, sort, classify, observe over time, and communicate their findings in creative ways.

Activities go beyond observation—children build models, set up fair tests, record results with charts and diagrams, and reflect through guided journaling and practical write-ups. Many projects blend science with maths (measuring, data handling), geography (studying rocks, habitats, and fieldwork), art (drawing and labelling), and design technology (making simple mechanisms or models).

The collection is designed for true hands-on learning, supporting both individual research and teamwork. Projects include growing plants, investigating the strength of magnets, measuring the length of shadows, and comparing nutrition in animals. Step-by-step lesson guides, visual aids, and a wide choice of printable worksheets ensure differentiation and easy planning for teachers and families alike.

Year Three Science packs are regularly updated with fresh, seasonal content and creative investigation ideas. Each activity reinforces key scientific skills while fuelling learners’ natural desire to wonder, experiment, and discover.
