DIGITAL DOWNLOAD: you receive a printable A4 PDF to print at home or school. No physical book is posted.

This 21 page Year 3 booklet explains rocks, fossils and soil, matched to what Year 3 pupils cover in England. Pupils describe and group rocks, find out where fossils turn up, and test rock properties for themselves. They finish by working out what soil is made of and why it matters to living things. A Watch the video button turns each question into a free lesson by Brenda Hayles on YouTube. Photographs of rock samples and diagrams of soil layers appear throughout the booklet, and new words such as porous and sedimentary are explained in a vocabulary list at the back, so the whole topic is ready to teach from one file.

Inside:

• Six questions, from rock types to soil
• A free video lesson linked to each question
• Photographs of rocks and diagrams of soil layers
• Words such as porous and sedimentary
