Science // Dinosaurs & Paleontology

Use dinosaur trackways (fossilised footprints) to make inferences about a dinosaur's size, speed, and behaviour — widely spaced prints suggest running, closely…

Science // Dinosaurs & Paleontology

Describe how palaeontologists work in the field and lab: prospecting for exposed fossils, careful excavation with hand tools, plaster jacketing for transport…

Science // Dinosaurs & Paleontology

Reconstruct an ancient ecosystem using multiple independent lines of evidence: isotope analysis of teeth to infer diet and migration, bone histology (growth…

Science // Earth's Systems

Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions

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

Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season

Science // Earth's Systems

Make observations and measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Explore and use classification keys to identify, group, and name living things in local and wider environments

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

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

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

Construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts: cells, wires, bulbs, switches, and buzzers

Science // Energy

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

Science // Energy

Calculate energy efficiency as the ratio of useful output energy to total input energy, construct and interpret Sankey diagrams, and calculate work done using…

Science // Energy

Plan and carry out experiments to measure energy transferred during heating, including using the equation Q = mcΔT, recording temperature changes over time, and…

Science // Energy

Apply Ohm's Law (V = IR) to calculate current, voltage, or resistance in a simple circuit, and explain that resistance opposes the flow of current

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

Make observations and measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion

Science // Forces & Motion

Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object

Science // Forces & Motion

Plan and carry out investigations into forces, including measuring force with a newton meter, investigating Hooke's Law, and collecting and interpreting motion…

Science // Insects & Minibeasts

Using classification keys to identify minibeasts. Branching yes/no questions: 'Does it have legs?' → 'How many legs?' → 'Does it have wings?' Dichotomous keys…

Science // Matter & Materials

Compare and group everyday materials based on their simple physical properties

Science // Matter & Materials
