The Series
CONTENT

AND

LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING (CLIL)

Increasingly, students around the world who don’t speak
English at home are learning content subjects such as
science through the medium of English, meaning that English
language learning is taking place at the same time as the
learning of content.

Benefits include:
• exposure to and acquisition of English language in
context, encouraging a more natural language learning
process
• meaningful use of the English language, with students
motivated to use English to find out more about real-world
topics that interest them
• increased English fluency through using the language for
a variety of purposes and in a number of different ways
• faster and higher-level development of skillswork,
especially reading and writing
• preparation for future studies and the international
workplace.
Varied support for English language learners is provided
throughout the teaching notes, including additional
background information, suggestions for suitable languagelearning activities, as well as strategies and techniques for
developing skillswork.

USING

THE MATERIALS

Teaching and learning situations can differ widely, and, with
this in mind, the series has been devised to allow teachers
the flexibility to customize according to their requirements.
Following a modular approach, each lesson can work as
a self-standing unit of content, and teachers can pick and
choose to fulfill their own curriculums. Fast-track routes
can be followed in situations where less time is allocated

for the teaching of primary science through English. More
information about fast-track routes can be found online.
In addition to the wide range of reinforcement and extension
activities provided through the ActiveTeach, an optional
Workbook is also available. The Workbook has been
especially tailored for the requirements of English language
learners and provides:
• activities relating to each lesson’s key vocabulary and
concepts
• targeted practice of already known grammar
• comprehensive development of science-related reading
and writing skills
• a progression through receptive understanding to
productive ability
• an emphasis on real-world application and students’ own
experience.

Question 1

If... students are having
difficulty understanding
that scientists observe,
then… remind students
how
people use their senses
to observe. Have students
name each sense and
point to the body part
associated with that sense.
Have students say how

they use that sense.
Lesson 2 How do scientist
s find answers?
Question 2
If... students are having
difficulty understanding
why scientists repeat investigat
ions, then… review
scientific methods. Help
students make the
connection that scientists
use methods they think
will help them answer
their questions.
Lesson 3 How do scientist

Question 3
If... students are having
difficulty understanding
the
differences among tables,
charts, and graphs and
how to use them, then…

EXPLORE

In every unit, students have an opportunity to explore some
of the main concepts before they start reading core content.
In each unit, there is a Let’s Explore! Labs that offers students
an opportunity to explore, hands-on, an idea relevant to
the related lesson. Teachers may opt to do the activities in
class or show them via the ActiveTeach. Related Activity
Cards that can be printed from the ActiveTeach help further
reinforce students’ activity-based learning.

EXPLAIN

To build their understanding, students read a variety of texts
that explain scientific concepts. Core content is accompanied

by activities for students to do—individually, in pairs, in small
groups, or as a class—to enhance understanding of the concepts.
ELL Content Support boxes provide background information or

unit concepts through hands-on experiments. Teachers can opt
to do the Labs hands-on in class or to show the digital materials
instead. Students reflect on their learning by answering questions
in their Student’s Books. Related Activity Cards that can be printed
from the ActiveTeach help further extend students’ reflection.

There are numerous instances for evaluating learning and
progress. At the end of each lesson, students can do a Lesson
Check, and, at the end of each unit, they can watch the Got
it? 60-Second Video to review key concepts. There is also
a unit review, with targeted review strategies to address
challenges students may have with the unit's content. Got it?
Self Assessments help students to assess their progress and
to judge what they need to study further. There are also Got

The 21st Century skills of critical thinking, collaboration,
communication, and creativity are methodically
developed across the digital and print components for
each level of Shake Up Science. In an increasingly
globally competitive workforce, it is more critical than
ever to prepare students for the careers of tomorrow.

COMMUNICATION OPPORTUNITIES

Activities in Shake Up Science are highly participative
and require students to collaborate and share their
ideas. There are a number of opportunities in each unit
for students to communicate in pairwork, groupwork,
or whole class activities, to give presentations, and to
express themselves through writing.

PROBLEM SOLVING

Shake Up Science systematically cultivates students’ skills
of critical thinking and problem solving, with a sciencerelated Big Question to lead each unit’s learning, lots of
exposure to scientific methodology, and Think! boxes
relating to real-life topics.

DIGITAL LITERACY

Digital activities work hand-in-hand along with the print
materials to help engage students and expand their
understanding of scientific concepts as well as for review
and feedback. Digital activities can be used in various
ways during class to explore key scientific concepts.

SELF-DIRECTION

Lesson Checks at the end of each lesson and Got it? Self
Assessments at the end of each unit encourage students to
self-evaluate and to make their own judgments about what
they need to review.

watch and write the time on the board. Have students
gather around you. Hold up a piece of paper or book.
Say How long is it? Let’s observe! Take out a ruler and
measure. Record the measurement. Then say What does
it look like? Look at a piece of paper or a page of a
book through a hand lens. Say and write I can see (the
letters). Finally, say What time is it? Again, look at your
watch and record the new time. What did we find out?

How big (the paper) is! What it looks like! Point to the
times. How long did it take us to observe these things?
It took us (five) minutes!

Review or pre-teach hand lens and seeds. Hold up
a hand lens. What is this? It’s a tool that helps us
see things! What are seeds? Plants grow from seeds.
Explain that not all seeds are edible.
Build Background Set out different kinds of seeds in
separate areas. Divide the class into the same number
of groups as kinds of seeds. Distribute a hand lens to
each group. Each group starts with a different seed and

students take turns examining the seeds. Does the hand
lens help you see the seeds? What do the seeds look like?
Explain to students that they just did something scientists
do and that they will learn more about what scientists do.

Show the scientist Flash Card and elicit the word.
Read the paragraph aloud for students and ask the
question. Guide students to answer. Scientists learn
about the world around us.

2

Do scientists work together? Say with
a partner.
Read the paragraph aloud again. Pair students and
have them discuss the answer. Ask them to point to
where in the paragraph or on the page they learn that
scientists can work together. Draw students’ attention
to the photo of the two scientists. Ask students to
describe what they are doing. Provide vocabulary
support as necessary and accept all logical answers.

3

Read. Mark (✔) the scientists who observe

things.
Display the observe and objects Flash Cards. Ask
students to describe what they see. Then draw their
attention to the three photos. Elicit from students or
describe what the person in each photo is doing.
Look! This person is underwater. It’s a diver! The
diver observes fish, coral, and other animals.
Read the paragraph. Elicit from students what
observe can mean. (To find out about things.)
Read the instructions and have students mark
the pictures. Check answers as class and discuss
students’ answers.

Elaborate
Describe Seeds
Have students get in their groups from the beginning of
class and examine the seeds again, following the same
procedure. Write the names of each kind of seed on the
board. Let’s observe the seeds! Ask questions How big are
the seeds? What color are they? Are they the same shape
as the other seeds?
Encourage students to describe or draw and compare
with one another the color, size, and shape of each kind
of seed. Record on the board some of the descriptions
of each kind of seed. It does not matter whether students
describe the seeds correctly or identify them, only
that students engage in the process of observing and
comparing. We are asking questions and observing. We
found out that (sesame) seeds have a different shape and
color than (rice). You’re little scientists!

A question is something we ask. For example, How old
are you? We ask questions about people, places, and
objects. Elicit from students other things we ask questions

about. (Possible answers: the weather, food, people’s
feelings, etc.) An answer is what we find out. When we
get answers to our questions, we learn things! Elicit from
students a question and write it under Question. Point out
the question mark. Then elicit an answer and write it under
Answer. (What color is the sky? It is blue.)

page. Elicit or identify for students the plants and
animals: pine tree, frog, kangaroo. Point out that the
kangaroo has a baby. It keeps its baby in its pouch!

Questions and Answers

5

Read. Match the questions and answers
with the pictures.
Read the paragraph aloud. Explain the instructions
and then read the questions and answers. Elicit the
question and answer in each instance and write
them under the headings on the board.
Remind students that scientists ask questions and

observe to get answers. Invite students to match
the question and answer pairs to the pictures.
Ask questions to check answers. What does question
a ask about? It asks about a plant. Which picture
shows a plant? The first picture. What is the answer?
It’s a tree!

Divide the class into small groups. Refer students back to the
pictures for exercise 5. What other questions can we ask?
Encourage groups to brainstorm. Remind students they can
use the samples on the board to help start new questions.
Monitor and provide support as needed. (Possible questions:
What color is the tree? What is the animal in the picture?
How big is the frog? Why does the frog have big eyes?)
Kangaroos and Frogs
Write How do kangaroos and frogs move? on the board.
Take students outside. Divide the class into Kangaroos and
Frogs. Kangaroos hold their arms loosely in front, like the
kangaroo in the picture, and jump using both feet when you
call out Kangaroos. Frogs get down on all fours and “jump”

boy can ask about the animals? Say as a class.
Where... ?

What... ?

Why... ?

Objective: Learn more about questions scientists ask.
Vocabulary: what, where, why, firefly, fireflies, glow,
light up, light, monkey, frog, kangaroo, fish, bird, cat,
dog, pretend
Digital Resources: Flash Card (questions), Lesson
1 Check (print out 1 per student)

7 Look at the monkey.

Say two questions you
can ask with a partner.

Materials: Animal Cards (selections, including
cat, dog, firefly, fish, frog, kangaroo, monkey, and
parrot/bird)
T hi nk !

Build Background Put the Animal Cards face down on
a table. Invite volunteers to come up, one at a time, turn
over a card, and mime the animal for the class. The class
guesses the animal. Invite volunteers to say something
about each animal. It’s a bird/parrot. A bird/parrot has
feathers. It can fly. It’s a cat. A cat says meow. It’s a firefly.
Fireflies glow, or light up. Provide support as necessary.

Explain

Look at the pictures. What are three
questions the boy can ask about the
animals? Say as a class.
Point to the first picture and have students read the
questions. Then draw students’ attention to the second
and third pictures. What is in the third picture? A
firefly. What does the boy have in the jar? Fireflies!
Next, read the question and solicit ideas. Write
students’ ideas on the board. Accept all logical
questions, but encourage students to include a What,
a Where, and a Why question. If students do not
come up with it on their own, ask Why do fireflies
glow? Explain to students that fireflies can make their
own light. Other fireflies can see them!

ELL Content Support
Fireflies are a kind of beetle, and there are more
than 2,000 species of fireflies. Some of these
species flash lights at night, which can be yellow,
green, or orange. They do this to attract each other
or to protect themselves from predators. Other
creatures, such as deep-water fish, can also create
their own light.

Lesson 2

How do scientists
observe?
Objective: Learn about some tools for observing
things.
Vocabulary: tools, hand lens, ruler, balance,
measure (v), sandwich, better, weigh, more

5 Read. Circle the tools.

Tools
Scientists can use tools to observe. A hand lens is a tool.
It can help you see things. A ruler can help you measure
how long an object is. A balance can help you measure
how much there is. Measure means to tell things like how
much, how long, and how tall.

Digital Resources: Flash Cards (tools, measure),
I Will Know… Digital Activity
Materials: 2 apples, 1 orange, balance

6 Say as a class. Match the tools to the questions.
How much
is there?

Build Background Display the tools and measure
Flash Cards. What tools can you see? What do they help
us do? Elicit plausible answers. Explain to students that
scientists can use tools to observe things, too. Scientists
use their senses to observe things. They can use a hand
lens to help them see things better. Explain that a tool is
anything that helps you do something and that some tools
can help you observe.

Explain
5

Read. Circle the tools.
Read the paragraph aloud for students. Write the
names of the tools on the board and say them aloud
for students to repeat. Then have students circle the
tools. Check answers as a class.
Ask questions to check comprehension. What is a
tool? Something that helps us do something, like
observe. Say one tool. (Balance.) What does measure
mean? To find out how much, how long, or how tall.

6

Say as a class. Match the tools to the
questions
Invite volunteers to read each word in the colored
boxes. Read the first speech bubble aloud and ask
students to shout out which tool matches the question.
(Answer: Balance.) Repeat for the remaining words

and speech bubbles. Finally, have students match the
words to the questions in their books.

ELL Vocabulary Support
Write Tools on the board. Give a definition of tool and
check understanding. Then practice some of the new
vocabulary. Some tools help us to observe. To observe
is to find out about things. Can you name a tool that
helps us to see? A hand lens! Right! Write hand lens
under Tools. What is a tool that helps us to measure?
A (ruler). Add (ruler).
Challenge students to name as many tools as they
can think of and to say or mime what they can help
us do. Right! A crayon helps us to draw. A pencil
helps us to write.

ELL Language Support
Help students review the verb be. Write is and are
on the board. Say sentences omitting the verb be for
students to call out is or are. For example, This butterfly

(beep) blue. Students should call out Is! The two
butterflies (beep) pretty. Students should call out Are!

Elaborate
Let’s compare our fish!
Distribute an Animal Card to each student. Invite students
to color their fish. Encourage them to make patterns, e.g.,
stripes, spots, etc. Finally, put students into small groups
to compare their fish. My fish is big. My fish is blue
and yellow. My fish has red spots. Monitor and provide
support as needed.

Think!
Are all fish alike?
Read the question aloud and invite students to answer
freely. Guide students to conclude that fish are alike--they
are fish--but also different--they can be different sizes,
colors, and so on.

goggles. Have students take turns putting them on.
What does a ruler do? It helps us tell how long or tall
something is. Does it help you stay safe? No! What
do safety goggles do? Keep my eyes safe! What
else helps you stay safe in science class? Rules!

Think!
What are some school rules and home rules?
Brainstorm school rules that help students stay safe. Allow
students to mime as needed. Accept all logical answers
and write them or draw pictures on the board. Do the
same with home rules. Then hold a class vote for the most
important safety rules. (Don’t run down the stairs. Don’t
