## 1. A. Cultura científica · 1. Iniciación en la actividad científica

- [Controlling variables](https://ai.page/c/controlling-variables/index.md): Plan different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, recognising and controlling variables where necessary
- [Measuring accurately](https://ai.page/c/measuring-accurately/index.md): Make systematic and careful observations, take accurate measurements using standard units and equipment including thermometers and data loggers
- [Asking scientific questions](https://ai.page/c/asking-scientific-questions/index.md): Ask simple scientific questions and recognise that they can be answered in different ways including observation, testing, and research

## 2. A. Cultura científica · 2. La vida en nuestro planeta

- [Grouping Living Things](https://ai.page/c/grouping-living-things/index.md): Recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways based on observable features
- [How animals adapt to environments](https://ai.page/c/how-animals-adapt-to-environments/index.md): Identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment and understand that adaptation may lead to evolution over time
- [Ocean Ecosystems](https://ai.page/c/ocean-ecosystems/index.md): Understand ocean ecosystems as interconnected systems where living things (producers, consumers, decomposers) and non-living factors (temperature, salinity, light, currents) all interact, and that changes to one part affect the whole system
- [Communities Protecting Resources](https://ai.page/c/communities-protecting-resources/index.md): Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth's resources and environment
- [Properties of materials](https://ai.page/c/properties-of-materials/index.md): Compare and group different kinds of rocks based on their appearance and simple physical properties such as hardness, texture, and colour

## 3. A. Cultura científica · 3. Materia, fuerzas y energía

- [Heating & Cooling Changes](https://ai.page/c/heating-and-cooling-changes/index.md): Observe and describe that some materials change state when heated or cooled, and measure the temperature at which changes occur in degrees Celsius
- [Irreversible Changes](https://ai.page/c/irreversible-changes/index.md): Explain that some changes result in the formation of new materials and are not usually reversible, such as burning, rusting, and reactions with acid
- [Contact & Non-Contact Forces](https://ai.page/c/contact-and-non-contact-forces/index.md): Notice that some forces need contact between two objects (contact forces) while magnetic forces can act at a distance (non-contact forces)

## 4. B. Tecnología y digitalización · 1. Digitalización del entorno personal de aprendizaje

- [Basic digital citizenship](https://ai.page/c/basic-digital-citizenship/index.md): Understand basic digital citizenship — being kind online, protecting personal information, recognising that people behind screens are real people with real feelings, and knowing what to do if something online makes them uncomfortable
- [Understanding Bullying](https://ai.page/c/understanding-bullying/index.md): Understand what bullying is — repeated behaviour intended to hurt someone, including physical, verbal, social (exclusion, spreading rumours), and cyberbullying — and know that it is always wrong and what to do if they experience or witness it

## 5. C. Sociedades y territorios · 1. Retos del mundo actual

- [Natural Disaster Solutions](https://ai.page/c/natural-disaster-solutions/index.md): Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans, such as earthquakes, floods, or volcanic eruptions
- [Shapes of land and water](https://ai.page/c/shapes-of-land-and-water/index.md): Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land (mountains, valleys, plains) and bodies of water (rivers, lakes, oceans) in an area
- [Weather vs climate](https://ai.page/c/weather-vs-climate/index.md): Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world, distinguishing between weather and climate
- [How the Economy Works](https://ai.page/c/how-the-economy-works/index.md): What an economy is; producers and consumers; supply and demand; why prices change; the basics of how markets work

## 6. C. Sociedades y territorios · 2. Sociedades en el tiempo

- [Vocabulary: historical thinking](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-historical-thinking/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of historical thinking — source, evidence, primary source, secondary source, artefact, chronology, chronological order, BC/BCE, AD/CE, century, decade, era, period, timeline, excavation, archaeologist, interpretation, corroborate, bias, perspective — and apply these terms when discussing how we know about the past and how reliable our knowledge is

## 7. C. Sociedades y territorios · 3. Alfabetización cívica

- [Rules and agreements exist](https://ai.page/c/rules-and-agreements-exist/index.md): Understand why rules and agreements exist — that they help keep people safe, make things fair, and help groups work well together — and follow agreed rules willingly rather than only when being watched
- [The world contains many cultures, traditions](https://ai.page/c/the-world-contains-many-cultures-traditions/index.md): Understand that the world contains many cultures, traditions, and belief systems, and that learning about others' perspectives enriches our own understanding — developing genuine curiosity about and respect for cultural diversity

## 8. C. Sociedades y territorios · 4. Conciencia ecosocial

- [Changing Environments](https://ai.page/c/changing-environments/index.md): Recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers and challenges to living things
- [Human impact on environments](https://ai.page/c/human-impact-on-environments/index.md): Use vocabulary for human impact on the environment — pollution, habitat destruction, deforestation, biodiversity, conservation, renewable energy, non-renewable energy, fossil fuel, carbon footprint, sustainability, endangered, extinct — and apply these when discussing environmental issues and human choices
