We use electrical equipment every day at home, work and at school. Whether a piece of toast in the morning, a nice cup of tea or photocopied worksheets, almost everything we do in the modern world relies on electricity to power it. But do we actually know how they work and what to do with them at the end of their lives? The science of electrical equipment explains how they work and helps us to dispose or recycle items safely and sustainably at the end of their lives.
The worksheets on this page will help young people understand the science behind the electrical equipment they use at home.

This sheet will help younger children (KS1) understand the Grow-Cook-Eat-Compost cycle. It links to National Curriculum Science in Year 1 & 2: Plants.
There’s also a simple pea and bean recipe below to help enjoy a small crop of peas and beans from a school garden.
Cardboard is one of the most useful materials in our modern world. Light, adaptable, cheap to make and easy to reuse or recycle it is ideal for jobs such as food packaging and parcel delivery. The science of materials helps understand the life cycle, properties and recycling. These investigations will help students understand how to recycle materials safely and sustainably at the end of their lives.

The Science of Materials allows us to find out what stuff is made of and their properties. It determines what we use for what purpose, ie. not using chocolate to make teapots or concrete to make trampolines!
The activity described in the worksheet below allows KS2 students to test a variety of materials and record the properties of each of a range of samples. This is the activity that our Waste Education Team deliver on our Free School Trips.
Material scientists use the properties of materials to sort out recycling too – find out how in the video below about Material Recycling Facilities – see if you can spot all of the properties used to sort out different materials into clean streams for recycling into new stuff.
