1. Life Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the life cycles of different 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. Physical Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the effect of a force (a push or a pull) in the movement of an object (changes in speed and direction).

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. Physical Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the properties of matter and changes that occur in 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. Taking Apart & Rebuilding: Observe that an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object, understanding that the pieces still exist
3. Classifying Materials: Plan and conduct an investigation to classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties

4. Earth and Space Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about how weather, plants, animals, and humans cause changes to the environment.

1. Changing Environments: Recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers and challenges to living things

5. Earth and Space Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to develop an understanding of the patterns of the sun and the moon and the sun's effect on Earth.

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

6. Earth and Space Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about stars having different sizes and brightness.

1. The Sun is a star: Know that the Sun is a star — the closest star to Earth — and that it is at the centre of our solar system, with all eight planets orbiting around it
2. Why the Sun Looks Brightest: Explain why the Sun appears much brighter than other stars: it is the nearest star to Earth, not the biggest or brightest star in the universe — understanding the difference between apparent brightness (how bright something looks) and actual brightness
