1. Earth and Space Science

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

2. Life Science

1. Offspring resemble parents: Observe that young plants and animals resemble their parents but are not identical, recognising inherited similarities and individual differences
2. 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

3. Physical Science

1. Light & Seeing in the Dark: Observe that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated by a light source
2. Communication with Light & Sound: Design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance
3. Classifying Materials: Plan and conduct an investigation to classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties
4. Vibrations & Sound: Understand that vibrating materials can make sound, and that sound can make materials vibrate

4. HEREDITY: INHERITANCE AND VARIATION OF TRAITS

1. Inherited characteristics: Analyse and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms

5. FROM MOLECULES TO ORGANISMS: STRUCTURES AND PROCESSES

1. How Plant Parts Work: Identify and describe the functions of different parts of flowering plants: roots absorb water and nutrients, stems transport materials, leaves make food, flowers enable reproduction
2. Skeletons & Muscles: Identify that humans and some other animals have skeletons and muscles for support, protection, and movement

6. WAVES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS

1. Transparent, Translucent & Opaque: Investigate the effect of placing objects made of different materials in the path of a beam of light, discovering transparent, translucent, and opaque materials
