1. 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
3. Animal Body Groups: Describe and compare the external body structure of common animals across groups (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals)
4. Animal Life Stages: Recognise that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults, and describe basic animal life stages
5. Offspring resemble parents: Observe that young plants and animals resemble their parents but are not identical, recognising inherited similarities and individual differences
6. Light & Seeing in the Dark: Observe that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated by a light source
7. Communication with Light & Sound: Design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance
8. Vibrations & Sound: Understand that vibrating materials can make sound, and that sound can make materials vibrate
9. 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
