1. Geography · Examining human population and movement helps individuals understand past, present, and future conditions on Earth’s surface.

1. Why seasons change: Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year, noticing longer days in summer and shorter days in winter
2. Friction & Surfaces: Compare how things move on different surfaces, noticing that some surfaces create more friction than others

2. Geography · The use of geographic representations and tools helps individuals understand their world.

1. Local weather patterns: Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions
2. Shapes of land and water: Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land (mountains, valleys, plains) and bodies of water (rivers, lakes, oceans) in an area

3. Economics · By applying economic reasoning, individuals seek to understand the decisions of people, groups, and societies.

1. Choosing the Right Material: Identify and compare the suitability of everyday materials for particular uses, explaining why specific materials are chosen for specific purposes

4. Disciplinary Skills and Processes · Historians and Social Scientists gather, interpret, and use evidence to develop claims and answer historical, economic, geographical, and political questions and co

1. Drawing conclusions from evidence: Report on findings from enquiries using oral and written explanations, draw simple conclusions, make predictions, and suggest improvements

5. Life Sciences

1. Asking scientific questions: Ask simple scientific questions and recognise that they can be answered in different ways including observation, testing, and research
2. Plants and animals in their 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 features
3. Offspring resemble parents: Observe that young plants and animals resemble their parents but are not identical, recognising inherited similarities and individual differences
4. How Organisms Shape Habitats: Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals can change the environment to meet their needs
5. Habitats & Basic Needs: 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 other
6. Life Cycles of Organisms: Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all share the common stages of birth, growth, reproduction, and death

6. Physical Sciences

1. Comparing Design Solutions: Analyse data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of each design
2. Pushes & Pulls: 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 directions
3. Balanced & Unbalanced Forces: Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object
4. Vibrations & Sound: Understand that vibrating materials can make sound, and that sound can make materials vibrate
5. Classifying Materials: Plan and conduct an investigation to classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties
