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

1. Finding patterns in data: 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

2. DISCIPLINARY SKILLS AND PROCESSES · Thinking within the discipline involves the ability to analyze relationships among causes and effects and to create and support arguments using relevant evidence.

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

3. DISCIPLINARY SKILLS AND PROCESSES · Chronological reasoning requires understanding processes of change and continuity over time, which means assessing similarities and differences between historical p

1. Correlation vs Causation: Two things happening together doesn't mean one caused the other — recognise the difference between correlation and causation before drawing conclusions

4. Life Sciences

1. Structures for Survival: Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behaviour, and reproduction
2. Energy from Food & the Sun: Use models to describe that energy in animals' food was once energy from the sun, transferred through plants or other organisms
3. Senses, Brain & Responses: Use a model to describe that animals receive information through their senses, process it in their brain, and respond in different ways

5. Earth and Space Sciences

1. The Sun is a star: Know that the Sun is a star — the closest star to Earth — and that it is at the centre of our solar system, with all eight planets orbiting around it

6. Physical Sciences

1. Waves & How They Move: Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength, and understand that waves can cause objects to move
2. What happens when things collide: Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide
