What Is A Life Cycle? Interactive
Compare how different animals grow and change during their life.
Food Chains Video
All living organisms need food to survive. Plants make their own food in their leaves. Plants are eaten by animals. These animals then become food for other animals, creating a food chain. In this example of a food chain, caterpillars and insects eat the plant leaves. These insects are in turn eaten by a bird which is then caught by a cat. All food chains start with the sun because plants need light to make food. Animals which eat only plants are herbivores. Animals which eat other animals are called carnivores.
Changes In Materials Interactive
Irreversible changes, like burning, cannot be undone. Reversible changes, like melting and dissolving, can be changed back again.Mixtures can be separated out by methods like filtering and evaporating.

How Wool Is Made Video
Two children visit a wool factory to find out how a sheep’s fleece is turned into woollen scarves. We meet the children as they come into the classroom from the playground wearing coats and scarves. An animated cat named Curious asks the children if they would like to find out how woollen scarves are made. The children watch some archive footage of a farm and see sheep being sheared. Next, they visit a wool factory where an expert shows them fleeces arriving from the farms, being sorted, washed, dried, carded and spun into yarn.
