1. Interdependence

1. What Living Things Need: Understand what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive: water, food, air, and suitable conditions

2. Heredity and Reproduction

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

3. Organization and Development of Living Organisms

1. 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
2. Parts of a Plant: Identify and describe the basic structure of common flowering plants (roots, stem, leaves, flowers) and trees (roots, trunk, branches, leaves)
3. Body Parts & Senses: Identify, name, and locate basic parts of the human body and associate each body part with its sense
4. 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. Living, Dead & Never Alive: Explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive
6. Observing with simple equipment: Observe closely using simple equipment such as hand lenses, and use observations to describe, compare, and identify things

4. Forces and Changes in Motion

1. 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

5. Motion of Objects

1. Predicting Motion Patterns: Make observations and measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion
2. Friction & Surfaces: Compare how things move on different surfaces, noticing that some surfaces create more friction than others

6. Properties of Matter

1. Grouping Materials: Compare and group everyday materials based on their simple physical properties
2. Temperature & Thermometers: Understand temperature as how hot or cold something is, that a thermometer measures temperature, and use words like hot, warm, cool, and cold to describe how the air feels on different days
3. Properties of materials: Compare and group different kinds of rocks based on their appearance and simple physical properties such as hardness, texture, and colour

7. Earth Structures

1. Rapid earth changes: Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions) or slowly (erosion, mountain building)
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. Local Plants & Animals: Identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including microhabitats such as under a log or in a pond
4. Earth Is Made of Rock: Understand that Earth is made of rock and other solid materials
5. Fast & Slow Earth Changes: Understand that Earth's surface changes: some changes are quick (eruptions, earthquakes) and some are slow (wind, water wearing away rock)

8. Earth in Space and Time

1. Sunlight warms things up: Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface, noticing that sunlight warms the ground, water, and objects
2. Sun, Moon & Stars: Identify the Sun, Moon, and stars as objects in the sky and describe basic differences: the Sun gives light and heat during the day, stars are tiny points of light at night, and the Moon can appear in both the day and night sky

9. The Practice of Science

1. Asking scientific questions: Ask simple scientific questions and recognise that they can be answered in different ways including observation, testing, and research
