1. Earth’s Systems · Understand patterns of weather and factors that affect weather.

1. Local weather patterns: Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions
2. Weather vs climate: Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world, distinguishing between weather and climate

2. Heredity- Inheritance and Variation of Traits · Understand that organisms differ from or are similar to their parents and other offspring based on characteristics of the organism.

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

3. From Molecules to Organisms- Structures and Processes · Understand animal life cycles.

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

4. Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer · Understand the relationship between sound and vibrating objects.

1. Vibrations & Sound: Understand that vibrating materials can make sound, and that sound can make materials vibrate
2. Volume & Vibrations: Find patterns between the volume of a sound and the strength of the vibrations that produced it
3. Pitch of Sounds: Find patterns between the pitch of a sound and features of the object that produced it

5. Matter and its Interactions · Understand properties of solids and liquids and the changes they undergo.

1. States of Matter Vocabulary: Name and distinguish the three states of matter — solid, liquid, and gas — using properties vocabulary: hard, rigid, runny, flows, keeps its shape, fills its container; use 'change of state' to describe what happens when materials are heated or cooled
2. Heating & Cooling Changes: Observe and describe that some materials change state when heated or cooled, and measure the temperature at which changes occur in degrees Celsius
