Explain how radiometric dating works — radioactive isotopes decay at a known rate (half-life), so measuring the ratio of parent to daughter isotope in a rock or…

Science // Dinosaurs & Paleontology

Compare the five major mass extinction events in Earth history (End-Ordovician, Late Devonian, End-Permian, End-Triassic, K-Pg), describe proposed kill…

Science // Earth's Systems

Observe changes across the four seasons and describe weather associated with each season, including how day length varies

Science // Earth's Systems

Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals can change the environment to meet their needs

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

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

Science // Earth's Systems

Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world, distinguishing between weather and climate

Science // Earth's Systems

Analyse and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features, recognising that many features result from processes that occur over long periods

Science // Earth's Systems

Develop a model to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact as connected Earth systems

Science // Earth's Systems

Describe and graph the amounts of salt water and fresh water in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth

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

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

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers and challenges to living things

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Construct and interpret food chains identifying producers, predators, and prey, and understand energy transfer between trophic levels

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways based on observable features

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive, such as herds, packs, or colonies

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Describe differences in the life cycles of mammals, amphibians, insects, and birds, comparing metamorphosis with direct development
