1. Organization and Development of Living Organisms

1. What Living Things Need: Understand what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive: water, food, air, and suitable conditions
2. Body Parts & Senses: Identify, name, and locate basic parts of the human body and associate each body part with its sense
3. 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
4. Living, Dead & Never Alive: Explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive
5. Animal Body Groups: Describe and compare the external body structure of common animals across groups (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals)

2. 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

3. Motion of Objects

1. Vibrations & Sound: Understand that vibrating materials can make sound, and that sound can make materials vibrate

4. Changes in Matter

1. Observing with simple equipment: Observe closely using simple equipment such as hand lenses, and use observations to describe, compare, and identify things
2. Changing Shapes of Solids: Investigate how the shapes of solid objects can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting, and stretching

5. Properties of Matter

1. Grouping Materials: Compare and group everyday materials based on their simple physical properties

6. Earth in Space and Time

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. 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
4. Objects vs Materials: Distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made, understanding that objects can be made from different materials
