0 of 12 concepts ready to learn · Markdown, for your AI
1. Engineering Design · Optimizing the Solution Process
- Comparing Design Solutions: Analyse data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of each design
2. Engineering Design · Developing Possible Solutions
- Modelling with Sketches: Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem
3. Engineering Design · Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems
- Simple Design Problems: Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost
4. Earth's Systems · Weather and Climate
- Local weather patterns: Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions
5. Earth's Place in the Universe · The Universe and its Stars
- 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
- 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
6. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits · Inheritance of Traits
- 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
- Offspring resemble parents: Observe that young plants and animals resemble their parents but are not identical, recognising inherited similarities and individual differences
7. From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes · Structure and Function
- 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
8. Waves and Their Applications in technologies for Information Transfer · Information Technologies and Instrumentation
- Communication with Light & Sound: Design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance
9. Waves and Their Applications in technologies for Information Transfer · Wave Properties
- Vibrations & Sound: Understand that vibrating materials can make sound, and that sound can make materials vibrate
10. Energy · Definitions of Energy
- Naming types of energy: Name and use vocabulary for types of energy and energy transfer — kinetic energy, potential energy, heat energy, light energy, sound energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, stored energy, energy transfer, energy transformation — and describe energy changes in familiar situations using these terms
