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

1. Controlling variables: Plan different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, recognising and controlling variables where necessary
2. Accurate Measurement: Take measurements with increasing accuracy and precision using a range of scientific equipment, taking repeat readings when appropriate

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

1. Human Reproduction: Describe the structure and function of the male and female human reproductive systems, and explain the processes of fertilisation, gestation, and birth including the role of the placenta
2. Identity and Belonging in Adolescence: Understand that adolescence involves active construction of identity, leading to emotional complexity around questions of 'who am I?'; explore the emotional dynamics of belonging to multiple groups simultaneously (family, peer group, cultural or religious identity); understand social comparison and its intensification through social media; recognise that identity is not fixed and that uncertainty about identity is normal, not a sign of failure; develop language for navigating emotions tied to group membership and personal values
3. Nutrients in a Healthy Diet: Identify the seven components of a healthy diet — carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre, and water — and explain the role of each in the body
4. Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Understand how lifestyle choices affect the body’s health: a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and avoiding harmful substances (tobacco, alcohol, drugs) help body systems function well, while poor choices increase the risk of disease
5. Finite Resources & Recycling: Explain that many raw materials (metals, fossil fuels, minerals) are finite resources, describe the environmental costs of extraction, and evaluate the benefits of recycling and the circular economy

1. Volume & Vibrations: Find patterns between the volume of a sound and the strength of the vibrations that produced it
2. Circuit vocabulary: Use technical vocabulary for electrical circuits — circuit, component, cell, battery, current, voltage, resistance, conductor, insulator, switch, series circuit, parallel circuit — and apply these when describing, drawing, and designing working circuits
3. Renewable vs non-renewable energy: Distinguish between renewable energy resources (solar, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, geothermal, biomass) and non-renewable resources (coal, oil, gas, nuclear), comparing their advantages, disadvantages, and environmental impacts

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

5. B. Tecnología y digitalización · 2. Proyectos de diseño y pensamiento computacional

1. Friendships change over time: Understand that friendships change over time — that it's normal for friends to drift apart or for new friendships to form — and develop strategies for making new friends and handling friendship changes without feeling like something is wrong with them

6. C. Sociedades y territorios · 1. Retos del mundo actual

1. Earth's Atmosphere & CO2: Describe the composition of Earth's atmosphere (mainly nitrogen and oxygen, with small amounts of CO₂ and other gases), explain how human activity increases CO₂, and describe the impact on global climate
2. Variation in Species: Explain variation within and between species, distinguishing between continuous variation (e.g. height) and discontinuous variation (e.g. blood group), and between genetic and environmental causes
3. Systemic Inequality and Allyship: Move beyond 'treating everyone the same' to understand that structural advantages and disadvantages exist regardless of individual effort or intention; explore concrete examples of systemic inequality (educational attainment gaps, gender pay gap, representation in leadership); distinguish between individual prejudice and structural discrimination; understand intersectionality — how multiple aspects of identity interact; develop informed compassion rooted in evidence rather than pity; explore what being a genuine ally means in practice

1. Human impact on environments: 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
