Q: Why is there an arrow under each word in the flash cards? A: The arrow serves multiple purposes. It reminds teachers to place their index finger on the circle and move it from left to right under the word to lead the student's eye across the word. The arrow also helps students orient the flash card and helps them remember to read from left to right. Q: How do I hold the flash cards? A: Hold the flash card so that it is directly in front of your child at your child's eye level. When you move your finger across the arrow, make sure that it does not obstruct your child's view of the word as this distracts attention from the words. Q: The flash cards don't print correctly - why do they go over the edge of the paper? A: The one-to-a-page and four-to-a-page flash cards need to be printed in landscape. To do this, go to your printer settings and select "landscape" (not portrait). ↑ Top

What is Science Sparks?

Science Sparks contains 100s of free science experiments and activities for kids of all ages. Most of our experiments only require very simple materials and ingredients that you most likely already have around the house. What are you waiting for? Choose an activity, create a cool science project, try a STEM challenge and then show your friends and family what you've learned. We've also got a few science tricks that are sure to impress an audience!

Still not sure where to start? Try our list of everything you need for science at home and start with something simple. Try making a bubbly lava lampor a craft or lollystick stick catapultand go from there. Thinking of a science question and then working through to find an answer is another great approach. We've got some great science questions for kids to get you started.

For children who aren't especially interested in science, give one of our book themed science experiments a go. These are also great for younger children, as we find adding a bit of context to an activity really helps keep kids engaged.

Don't forget we've also got lots of holiday themed science activities as well as an extensive list of easy STEM challenges and exciting science project ideas.

BENEFITS OF SCIENCE FOR KIDS

Whatever the age of the child the benefits of science experiments and activities are huge. The best thing about science is that you probably already have everything you need for awesome science experiments in the kitchen or around the house.

Encourage curiosity. Children can use science experiments and activities to find answers to questions which will probably lead to more questions and hopefully help nurture a natural curiosity and understanding about the world around them.

Get outdoors - science is a great way to encourage children outside. Whether it's making rockets, building water walls or just trying some sinking and floating it's always good to be outside.

Planning skills - science projects help develop planning and problem solving skills as well as the resilience to keep trying if something doesn't work first time.

Team work - science experiments are a brilliant way to encourage children to work as part of a team and for parents to spend quality time with children too!

A selection of games about animals and their habitats. Counting animals, naming animals.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Our preschool and kindergarten animals section is designed especially for young learners with easy mouse skills, and audio instructions and game play. Kids can watch movies about the various environments and the animals that live there, test what they learned through are easy to use games, get creative by building their own animal environment or build their knowledge by going through our audio and animated animal flashcards.

Our animal section includes the farm, jungle, forest, and ocean.

Reviews from teachers:
" I am an early childhood special education teacher and I just stumbled upon your website while doing some work for a graduate course I am taking about excellent online resources for the classroom and I wanted to let you know that you have created some amazing activities. My 3-5 year old students are going to love learning to count, finding shapes, matching colors, and even finding farm animals with your fun activities. They have bright, kid-friendly graphics and excellent voice narration. Keep up the good work and I plan on visiting your site as often as I can in my classroom! Thanks again!"
-Ashley Furnell

"I am a computer teacher for pre-k - 8th grade and I love the pre- school animals movies/games/create/flashcards! My kindergarden and 1st grade classes have been using them to learn about different habitats.

The new movie is great! In all the movies I like that the voice is slow and clear (I teach english language learners) and that there are simple facts about the animals. The jungle movie is especially full of information. I also like that there is a bit about conservation - we try to put some type of conservation into the subjects.
Thank you!"

-Elizabeth (Liz) Spitznagel
Computer Teacher, St. Agnes of Bohemia School

"I just found your website by accident, and I love it! I can't wait for my 4 yr old to try it out tomorrow. He's going to love it. Great Job!"
-The Millers

From " Kids on the Computer" blog:
"Sheppardsoftware.com is full of educational games and learning activities. There's a special section just for preschoolers and kindergardeners that is fun without being too busy and overstimulating."

From " K-8 EdTech resources" blog (Ncs-tech):
"This site is appealing to me due to its vast collection of original Flash based interactives, like "Create an Animal Ocean", that are, incidentally, absolutely perfect for interactive white boards (IWBs). Voice prompts guide the user through each step, making it suitable for the youngest learners to use these tools on their own. Sound effects and voiceovers are pleasing and absolutely first-rate."

" Just wanted to say I continue to be impressed with these activities. The voice directions are very pleasant and carefully worded." - ​John ​P​adula​

"Love your movies! wish I had found them sooner. Was looking for a farm video for a 4-year-old grandson with a tentative diagnosis of Asbergers, and this really caught his attention, especially the 'graduation' to the interactive game. Videos are his comfort zone, and his family lives next door , so it's nice for me to have such a good resource

"I liked the voice of the narrator, the pace, and the tactful pushes about saving wildlife and forests. I also enjoyed the obvious sense of humor. " -

About Handwriting Patterns

Handwriting 1 generates hundreds of different tracing worksheets for pre-writing activities and abstract penmanship practice.

The formations are intended to encourage and develop a flowing hand. Ideally each line or shape should be completed in a single stroke with the initial focus on fluidity rather than accuracy.

The even formations like zig-zag, mounds and waves are also useful as a starting point for creating tessellations in maths or art.

Set the size and type of formation, line pattern and colours using the buttons above the worksheet preview.

Sheets are generated every time you change an option. Spirals and the Rainbow colour scheme are created randomly.

Use the Magic button to generate random sheets.

Robot Addition is a multiple choice addition game for 5 to 7 year olds. It has three game modes: Addition to 10, Addition to 15 and Addition to 20. Each of the modes can be played with or without the support of a corresponding number line.

Children drag and drop the robots with questions onto robot placeholders featuring the correct answers. The game can be replayed many times as the questions are presented randomly. The game lends itself well to being played on an interactive whiteboard.
