1. Waves and their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

1. Light & Seeing in the Dark: Observe that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated by a light source
2. Communication with Light & Sound: Design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance
3. Transparent, Translucent & Opaque: Investigate the effect of placing objects made of different materials in the path of a beam of light, discovering transparent, translucent, and opaque materials
4. Vibrations & Sound: Understand that vibrating materials can make sound, and that sound can make materials vibrate

2. Earth's Place in the Universe

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. Sun, Moon, and stars: Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe predictable patterns such as the sun rising and setting, the moon changing shape, and stars appearing at night

3. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

1. Offspring resemble parents: Observe that young plants and animals resemble their parents but are not identical, recognising inherited similarities and individual differences

4. From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

1. 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

5. Engineering Design

1. Modelling with Sketches: Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem
2. 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
