Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics, using evidence to justify classification decisions

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Describe how living things are classified into broad groups (micro-organisms, plants, animals) according to common observable characteristics, similarities, and…

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth's resources and environment

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Construct and interpret food webs showing the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem, explaining how a change in one population affects others

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Explain the importance of insect pollination for plant reproduction and human food security, and discuss the consequences of pollinator decline

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Explain how energy is transferred between trophic levels in a food chain, why energy is lost at each stage, and use pyramids of biomass/numbers to represent…

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Describe the water cycle, tracing water through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, surface runoff, and transpiration in plants, explaining how the sun…

Science // Energy

Observe and provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents

Science // Energy

Draw and read simple circuit diagrams using standard symbols for cells, bulbs, switches, buzzers, and wires; identify whether a circuit is complete or broken…

Science // Energy

Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object

Science // Energy

Use technical vocabulary for electrical circuits — circuit, component, cell, battery, current, voltage, resistance, conductor, insulator, switch, series…

Science // Energy

Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another

Science // Energy

Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide

Science // Energy

Use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram, including cell, wire, bulb, switch, buzzer, and motor

Science // Energy

Associate the brightness of a lamp or volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in a series circuit

Science // Energy

Compare and give reasons for variations in how circuit components function, including brightness of bulbs, loudness of buzzers, and switch positions

Science // Energy

Identify the main energy stores (kinetic, gravitational potential, elastic potential, thermal, chemical, nuclear, electromagnetic) and the pathways by which…

Science // Energy

Explain the principle of conservation of energy (energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred between stores), and describe how energy is dissipated…

Science // Energy

Understand that electric current is the rate of flow of charge (measured in amperes using an ammeter), and that potential difference (voltage) is the energy…

Science // Energy

Explain static electricity as the build-up of electric charge through friction, describe how charged objects attract or repel each other, and relate static…

Science // Forces & Motion

Draw and interpret force diagrams showing forces as labelled arrows — where the arrow's length represents the force's magnitude and its direction shows which…

Science // Forces & Motion

Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object

Science // Forces & Motion

Identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance, and friction, and understand that these forces act between moving surfaces to oppose motion
