1. Physical Science · Matter and Its Interactions

1. 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
2. Taking Apart & Rebuilding: Observe that an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object, understanding that the pieces still exist
3. Testing Materials for Uses: Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials including metals, wood, and plastic
4. Classifying Materials: Plan and conduct an investigation to classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties
5. Choosing the Right Material: Identify and compare the suitability of everyday materials for particular uses, explaining why specific materials are chosen for specific purposes

2. Life Science · Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity

1. How animals adapt to environments: Identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment and understand that adaptation may lead to evolution over time

3. Life Science · Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics

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. What Plants Need to Grow: Understand that plants need water, light, and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy

4. Engineering, Technology, and the Application of Science · Engineering Design

1. 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
2. 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

5. Earth & Space Science · Earth's Systems

1. Shapes of land and water: Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land (mountains, valleys, plains) and bodies of water (rivers, lakes, oceans) in an area
2. Where water is found on Earth: Identify where water is found on Earth and understand that water can exist as solid (ice) or liquid, recognising water in oceans, rivers, glaciers, and underground
3. Preventing Erosion: Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land

6. Earth & Space Science · Earth's Place in the Universe

1. Rapid earth changes: Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions) or slowly (erosion, mountain building)

7. Geography · Human Environmental Interaction (G.HE)

1. Habitats & Basic Needs: Identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how habitats provide for basic needs and how organisms depend on each other

8. Geography · Geographic Reasoning (G.GR)

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
