Reception different environments science knowledge organiser
This Reception different environments science knowledge organiser supports key learning from our EYFS science scheme. Designed for use with the full six-lesson block, it helps pupils revisit vocabulary, enquiry skills and concepts through visuals, prompts and clear definitions.
Use this Reception science knowledge organiser as a display, retrieval tool or reference. It reinforces skills like observation, comparison and recording, while supporting early scientific language development.
Includes:
- Key science vocabulary with child-friendly definitions
- Images of environments: rainforest, Arctic, desert, woodland, mountains and ocean
- Animal home examples including nest, den and lodge
- Scientific skill visuals: observing, sorting, comparing and recording
- Example tally chart and seasonal changes with image cues
This Reception knowledge organiser links directly to all six lessons in our Reception science scheme of work, part of the Scintillating Science programme.
