Science // Earth's Systems

Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land (mountains, valleys, plains) and bodies of water (rivers, lakes, oceans) in an area

Science // Earth's Systems

Identify where water is found on Earth and understand that water can exist as solid (ice) or liquid, recognising water in oceans, rivers, glaciers, and…

Science // Earth's Systems

Compare and group different kinds of rocks based on their appearance and simple physical properties such as hardness, texture, and colour

Science // Earth's Systems

Describe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock over millions of years

Science // Earth's Systems

Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land

Science // Earth's Systems

Name and use vocabulary for the water cycle — evaporation, condensation, precipitation, collection, transpiration, water vapour, runoff, groundwater — and…

Science // Earth's Systems

Recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter, and that different soils have different properties

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals and the places they live, connecting organism needs to habitat…

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and other living things in the local environment

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how habitats provide for basic needs and how organisms depend on each…

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain, and identify different sources of food

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Name and use vocabulary for where living things are found — habitat, environment, microhabitat, conditions, woodland, ocean, desert, rainforest, pond — and use…

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including microhabitats such as under a log or in a pond

Science // Energy

Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface, noticing that sunlight warms the ground, water, and objects

Science // Energy

Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area, such as a shade or shelter

Science // Energy

Name and use vocabulary for types of energy and energy transfer — kinetic energy, potential energy, heat energy, light energy, sound energy, electrical energy…

Science // Forces & Motion

Understand that pushes and pulls are forces that can change the speed or direction of an object's motion, and compare the effects of different strengths and…

Science // Forces & Motion

Name and describe forces using precise vocabulary — force, push, pull, twist, stretch, squash, contact force, non-contact force, gravity, weight, friction, air…

Science // Forces & Motion

Analyse data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or pull

Science // Forces & Motion

Compare how things move on different surfaces, noticing that some surfaces create more friction than others

Science // Forces & Motion

Notice that some forces need contact between two objects (contact forces) while magnetic forces can act at a distance (non-contact forces)

Science // Forces & Motion

Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others

Science // Forces & Motion

Describe magnets as having two poles (north and south) and predict whether two magnets will attract or repel based on which poles face each other
