1. Earth’s Systems: Processes That Shape the Earth · Gather and analyze data to communicate an understanding of Earth’s systems and processes that shape the Earth.

1. Finding patterns in data: Analyse and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features, recognising that many features result from processes that occur over long periods
2. Erosion and weathering: Make observations and measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation

2. Structure, Function, and Information Processing · Gather and analyze data to communicate an understanding of structure, function and information processing of living things.

1. Senses, Brain & Responses: Use a model to describe that animals receive information through their senses, process it in their brain, and respond in different ways
2. Structures for Survival: Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behaviour, and reproduction
3. How We See Objects: Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen

3. Energy: Conservation and Transfer · Gather, analyze and communicate evidence of energy conservation and transfer.

1. 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
2. How energy travels around: Observe and provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents
3. Natural resources: Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and that their uses affect the environment
4. Building an energy-converting device: Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another
5. Speed and energy: Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object
6. What happens when things collide: Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide

4. Waves: Waves and Information · Gather, analyze, and communicate evidence of waves and the information they transfer.

1. Waves & How They Move: Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength, and understand that waves can cause objects to move
2. Patterns & Codes for Information: Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information, such as codes and signals
