1. Earth’s Systems · Understand change and observable patterns of weather that occur from day to day and throughout the year.

1. Local weather patterns: Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions

2. Heredity- Inheritance and Variation of Traits · Understand characteristics of organisms that make them alike and different.

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 the characteristics of living organisms and nonliving things.

1. 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
2. Living Things Vocabulary: Name and use vocabulary for what makes something living — alive, dead, never been alive, movement, nutrition, growth, reproduction, sensitivity, excretion — and apply these terms when classifying objects and explaining why plants and animals count as living things

4. Motion and Stability- Forces and Interactions · Understand the positions and motions of objects and organisms observed in the environment.

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

5. Matter and its Interactions · Understand how objects are described based on their physical properties and how they are used.

1. Objects vs Materials: Distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made, understanding that objects can be made from different materials
2. Grouping Materials: Compare and group everyday materials based on their simple physical properties
