Experiments, the natural world, and the science that ends up on an exam paper.
Short science activities built around a picture, a video or a question, designed to get children talking and thinking like scientists. Low prep, which is the point.
It's made for primary classrooms (the site says over 75% of UK primary schools use it), but the activities work just as well round a table at home. It's completely free; you sign up with an email to use it.
Hundreds of easy, hands-on science experiments, most using things you'll already have in the house, each with the science explained. Handy for a rainy afternoon.
Experiments are sorted into biology, chemistry, physics and preschool science, with STEM challenges, science facts and free printables as well. The site is free and carries adverts.
A free, self-guided course through 13.8 billion years, from the Big Bang to now. History and science as one story, for a child who likes the big picture.
It moves through the universe, the solar system and Earth, life on Earth, humanity and the modern world, with videos and articles along the way. It's written for lifelong learners; there's a separate classroom version, OER Project, for younger secondary students.
Free GCSE and A-level revision: video lessons, notes, quizzes, flashcards and exam questions, all in one place.
It covers 15 subjects across ten UK and international boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC, CCEA and SQA, so it works in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland too. Its videos have more than 184 million views on YouTube. A free account keeps track of progress.
