Join Numberblock Fourteen at the skate park! Help Fourteen finish the doubles by tracing the numbers and filling in the gaps. Cut out Fourteen and his lucky Double Sevens and have fun whizzing them about the halfpipe ramps below.
Sing Fourteen's song:
I'm 14, I'm 10 and 4, I'm also double 7!
I'm riding on an elevator straight to skater heaven!
And whenever I get into a fix,
in the middle of one of my brand-new tricks,
I've got my lucky double to get me out of trouble...
Lucky double Seven!
In Double Decker Buses Mean Double the Fun!, presenter and motorbike racer Grace Webb explores the features of a double decker bus and even tries her hand at driving some passengers around on the track. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Grace’s Amazing Machines, a children’s show that introduces kids to some of the biggest, fastest, and most amazing machines in the world.
The number blocks are having double the fun today! Color your favorite doubles, such as 4, 8, and 16, in this pretty winter scene. It's time for DOUBLE figure skating! Happy Double-day!
In A Trap in Bloom: The Venus Flytrap’s Double Life, narrator Sir David Attenborough introduces the Venus flytrap, a carnivorous plant that attracts insects with sweet nectar on its leaves. When an insect triggers the hairs on the trap, it snaps shut. After a few days it reopens, leaving only the insect’s dry remains. However, Venus flytraps also need to pollinate, so it grows tall flowers away from its traps, allowing insects to safely feed on nectar and spread pollen, ensuring the plant can reproduce. This video is excerpted from BBC's Life, a show that explores the remarkable strategies animals and plants use to ensure their survival.
Let’s catch the bus to... the museum. (But only because you’re secretly in love with the bus driver!) Here's how to play:
- Try to get around the board without the grannies causing too much chaos!
- Grab a counter* (or two, if you’re playing with a friend) and place it on the start. *A button or small toy work well!
- Take turns rolling a die and moving the number of steps you roll. Be prepared for granny stops! The first one to the end wins.
Get ready for a speedy adventure! This BBC Learning Hub playlist, packed with clips from Grace’s Amazing Machines, takes students on a high-octane journey through land, sea, and sky. From gyrocopters and tugboats to superbikes and supercars, each video introduces a powerful machine — and the science that makes it move.
Perfect for teaching concepts like forces and motion, energy, friction, and transportation technology, these clips are a fun, fast-paced way to explore how things go, glide, float, and fly. Each video comes with discussion questions, hands-on activities, and more to help kids think, tinker, and learn like real engineers. Buckle up — it’s going to be a wild ride!
In Polar Bears in Winter, narrator Sir David Attenborough highlights a polar bear waiting through the Arctic winter with little food and in harsh conditions. Nearby, polar bear cubs are born tiny and blind. The polar bear cubs spend the winter cuddled with their mother where they drink milk so rich they can double their weight every few weeks. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Frozen Planet, a series that shows a fragile world of beauty and hostility, where nature finds a way to survive and thrive in frigid conditions.
In The Red Knot Bird's Essential Pit Stop, narrator Sir David Attenborough follows red knot birds on their nearly 10,000 mile (16,000 kilometer) journey from Argentina to Canada. They stop in Delaware Bay to feast on horseshoe crab eggs, needing to eat up to 400,000 eggs to double their weight before continuing their journey. But all that feeding makes them easy targets for predators like the peregrine falcon, adding danger to their incredible adventure! This video is excerpted from BBC's Life, a show that explores the remarkable strategies animals and plants use to ensure their survival.
In Life Beneath the Antarctic Ice, learn how the world's largest desert doubles in size during winter, creating a vast, frozen expanse. Beneath the ice lies a surprisingly stable environment, allowing life to evolve and thrive in extraordinary ways. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
As students explore each dinosaur and dig site combo, they can record their findings in this Paleontologist Field Journal. For each site, students will fill in:
- Dig Site Observations: Answer questions about the Visit the Dig video.
- Fact File: Using information from the Meet the Dinosaur video and your own research, fill in all the boxes.
- Coloring page: Color the detailed scientific drawing of the dinosaur.
It's all part of our Walking With Dinosaurs Virtual Field Trip!
You'll need to print this double-sided. Select the option to flip on the long edge. To assemble the journals, students will stack the double-sided pages together, fold in half, and staple along the short edge.
