Essential resources for the Kapow Primary Science scheme

This comprehensive equipment list provides a clear and organised overview of the necessary Science resources for each year group across EYFS (Reception), KS1 and KS2. It ensures that teachers are well-equipped to develop the children’s scientific knowledge and understanding through engaging, well-resourced lessons.

How is the Science equipment list organised?

The list is organised by year group and then further broken down into individual units. Links to unit pages are provided throughout. 

The list details both the optional and necessary specialised resources (e.g. thermometers, Petri dishes, magnifying glasses, circuit components) and everyday classroom supplies (e.g. sugar paper, marker pens, sticky tack and devices).
