Live in the 1960s

Explore the science behind key events from the 1960s through practical investigations.

Overview

  • Engaging children with historical events through a scientific lens can be challenging. This resource, aimed at KS2, makes it easier by focusing on the World Cup, the space race, and significant medical discoveries of the 1960s. It helps children appreciate the science behind these events while honing their enquiry skills.

  • Children develop critical thinking through hands-on investigations, making learning interactive and enjoyable. The resource supports understanding changes within living memory and encourages asking and answering questions relevant to Key Stages 1 and 2. For Lower Key Stage 2, it supports asking relevant questions and using different types of scientific enquiries to answer them.

  • For Upper Key Stage 2, it emphasises identifying scientific evidence to support or refute ideas. Additionally, teachers have access to lesson presentations, historic timelines, templates, and activity support materials, making this tool highly useful for classroom use.
