Science // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Types of FossilsDistinguish body fossils (preserved bones, teeth, shells) from trace fossils (footprints, trackways, eggs, burrows, coprolites) and explain what each type can…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Reading Dinosaur TrackwaysUse dinosaur trackways (fossilised footprints) to make inferences about a dinosaur's size, speed, and behaviour — widely spaced prints suggest running, closely…
Ages 7 to 9MethodScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
The Mesozoic EraPlace the three periods of the Mesozoic Era — Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous — in order and understand that different dinosaurs lived in different periods…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Dinosaurs Around the WorldUnderstand that different dinosaurs lived on different continents and that fossil discoveries around the world show dinosaurs were a global phenomenon, with…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Mary Anning, Fossil HunterKnow who Mary Anning was — a pioneering fossil hunter from Lyme Regis, England, who discovered ichthyosaur and plesiosaur skeletons in the early 1800s and…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Seasonal changesObserve changes across the four seasons and describe weather associated with each season, including how day length varies
Ages 5 to 6ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Local weather patternsUse and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions
Ages 5 to 6MethodScience // Earth's Systems
How Organisms Shape HabitatsConstruct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals can change the environment to meet their needs
Ages 5 to 6ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Shapes of land and waterDevelop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land (mountains, valleys, plains) and bodies of water (rivers, lakes, oceans) in an area
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Where water is found on EarthIdentify where water is found on Earth and understand that water can exist as solid (ice) or liquid, recognising water in oceans, rivers, glaciers, and…
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Properties of materialsCompare and group different kinds of rocks based on their appearance and simple physical properties such as hardness, texture, and colour
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
How fossils formDescribe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock over millions of years
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Preventing ErosionCompare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land
Ages 7 to 8MethodScience // Earth's Systems
Evaporation and condensationName and use vocabulary for the water cycle — evaporation, condensation, precipitation, collection, transpiration, water vapour, runoff, groundwater — and…
Ages 7 to 9LanguageScience // Earth's Systems
Rocks and soilRecognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter, and that different soils have different properties
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Ecosystems & Habitats
Plants and animals in their habitatsUse a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals and the places they live, connecting organism needs to habitat…
Ages 5 to 6ConceptScience // Ecosystems & Habitats
Reducing Human ImpactCommunicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and other living things in the local environment
Ages 5 to 6ConceptScience // Ecosystems & Habitats
Living, Dead & Never AliveExplore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive
Ages 6 to 7ConceptScience // Ecosystems & Habitats
Habitats & Basic NeedsIdentify 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…
Ages 6 to 8ConceptScience // Ecosystems & Habitats
Simple Food ChainsDescribe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain, and identify different sources of food
Ages 6 to 7ConceptScience // Ecosystems & Habitats
Habitat VocabularyName and use vocabulary for where living things are found — habitat, environment, microhabitat, conditions, woodland, ocean, desert, rainforest, pond — and use…
Ages 6 to 8LanguageScience // Ecosystems & Habitats
Local Plants & AnimalsIdentify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including microhabitats such as under a log or in a pond
Ages 6 to 8ConceptScience // Energy
Sunlight warms things upMake observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface, noticing that sunlight warms the ground, water, and objects
Ages 5 to 6ConceptScience // Energy
Building shade from the sunUse 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
