We are all about supporting spoken language so students can access science. Home to science video resources and also Concept Cat.
Yes, we sell stuff but it is a passion project first and foremost.

Vocabulary is crucial to accessing science, but it is abstract and challenging for many. Lift Lessons resources make all of the difference. Check them out today. Free 7 day trial too.

'Fair test' and 'dependent variables' are abstract terms that students need to understand science. But they are hard to grasp.
That's where our video resources come in. They take the abstract terminology and explain it simply. So students get it.

Concept Cat is going down a storm in Early Years settings all over. Why? Because it really helps children to learn important words such as 'less.' liftlessons.co/conceptcat
There are rumours that a new book is coming soon. Is that right @wordaware.bsky.social & @lang4think.bsky.social?

Every teacher who tries our science videos LOVES them. They are a very useful tool for conveying complex scientific #vocabulary simply, so students really 'get it.' Suited to KS2 and 3.

Students with literacy difficulties may struggle with other areas of learning, including science. That's where our video resources come in. They explain the trick words, so they stick.

It's #BritishScienceWeek!
Science is exciting, fun and rewarding, but it can also be challenging for students who are put off by the complex vocabulary.
That's where our videos and resources come in. Students find them engaging, but crucially they work!

We LOVE science, and we want our students to also. But we know that some of the words are challenging.
Look at these from energy: 'convection, kinetic store and dissipate.' That's why we created our accessible science vocabulary resources.

By introducing science vocabulary specifically our videos help more students' learning to take off. The video are very short, so work well as a quick intro. Also supported by review activities. liftlessons.co/science-home #STEM
