Ages 12 to 13ConceptScience // Matter & Materials
Acids, Alkalis & pHDefine acids and alkalis in terms of hydrogen ion concentration, describe the pH scale (0–14), and explain how indicators are used to identify and measure…
Ages 12 to 13ConceptScience // Matter & Materials
Reactions That Release or Absorb HeatDistinguish between exothermic reactions (release energy, temperature rises) and endothermic reactions (absorb energy, temperature falls), with everyday and…
Ages 12 to 13ConceptScience // Matter & Materials
The Rock CycleExplain the rock cycle: how igneous rocks form from magma, sedimentary rocks from compressed sediment, and metamorphic rocks from heat and pressure, and how all…
Ages 12 to 14ConceptScience // Matter & Materials
Types of Chemical ReactionIdentify and describe four types of chemical reaction: combustion (burning in oxygen), oxidation (gain of oxygen), thermal decomposition (breaking down by…
Ages 12 to 13ConceptScience // Matter & Materials
The Reactivity SeriesOrder common metals in the reactivity series and explain how a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive one; describe how carbon is used to extract metals…
Ages 12 to 14ConceptScience // Matter & Materials
Ceramics, Polymers & CompositesDescribe the properties and uses of ceramics (hard, brittle, heat-resistant), polymers (flexible, lightweight, variable), and composites (combine properties of…
Ages 13 to 14ConceptScience // Ocean Life
What Is the Ocean?Know that oceans are huge bodies of salt water that cover most of Earth's surface, and that the ocean is home to an enormous number of living things
Ages 5 to 7ConceptScience // Ocean Life
What Ocean Animals NeedUnderstand that ocean animals need food, shelter, and the right conditions to survive — just like land animals — and that different parts of the ocean provide…
Ages 5 to 7ConceptScience // Ocean Life
Ocean Animal VarietyRecognise that the ocean is home to an amazing variety of animals — from tiny seahorses and colourful clownfish to enormous whales and sharks — and that ocean…
Ages 5 to 7ConceptScience // Ocean Life
Ocean Food ChainsDescribe a simple ocean food chain: tiny plants (phytoplankton) are eaten by small animals, which are eaten by bigger fish, which are eaten by top predators…
Ages 5 to 7ConceptScience // Ocean Life
Whales & Dolphins Are MammalsKnow that whales and dolphins are mammals, not fish — they breathe air, are warm-blooded, and feed their babies milk — even though they live in the ocean
Ages 5 to 7ConceptScience // Ocean Life
Coasts & BeachesKnow what a coast or beach is — the place where land meets the ocean — and that different coasts can be sandy, rocky, or muddy, each with different plants and…
Ages 5 to 7ConceptScience // Ocean Life
Rock Pool HabitatsExplore rock pools (tide pools) as small ocean habitats where crabs, anemones, starfish, and small fish can be found, and understand that these creatures are…
Ages 5 to 7ConceptScience // Ocean Life
Classifying Ocean AnimalsClassify ocean animals into major groups: fish (breathe through gills, have scales), marine mammals (breathe air, warm-blooded, feed milk), and invertebrates…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Ocean Life
Ocean Food WebsUnderstand ocean food webs: multiple interconnected food chains where energy flows from phytoplankton (producers) through zooplankton, small fish, and large…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Ocean Life
Ocean Depth ZonesUnderstand that the ocean has different zones depending on depth and light: the sunlight zone near the surface where most life lives, the twilight zone where…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Ocean Life
The Five OceansName and locate the five oceans — Pacific (largest), Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic (smallest and coldest) — on a world map, and understand that they…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Ocean Life

Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Ocean Life
Tides, Waves & CurrentsKnow that the ocean has tides (water level rises and falls twice a day, caused mainly by the Moon's gravity), waves (caused by wind), and currents (rivers of…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Ocean Life
The Ocean FloorKnow that the ocean floor is not flat — it has mountains, valleys, and the deepest trenches on Earth — and that the deepest point is the Mariana Trench, deeper…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Ocean Life
