1. Links Among Engineering, Technology, Science, and Society

1. Observing with simple equipment: Observe closely using simple equipment such as hand lenses, and use observations to describe, compare, and identify things

2. 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
3. Simple tests and experiments: Perform simple tests and use observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions

3. Earth's Place in the Universe

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. How Telescopes Work: Know that telescopes are instruments that help us see distant objects in space, and that space telescopes like Hubble and James Webb orbit above Earth’s atmosphere to get clearer views of the universe
3. 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

4. Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics

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
2. 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
3. What Plants Need to Grow: Understand that plants need water, light, and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy

5. From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

1. How Organisms Shape Habitats: Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals can change the environment to meet their needs
2. 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
3. Parts of a Plant: Identify and describe the basic structure of common flowering plants (roots, stem, leaves, flowers) and trees (roots, trunk, branches, leaves)
4. How Plant Parts Work: Identify and describe the functions of different parts of flowering plants: roots absorb water and nutrients, stems transport materials, leaves make food, flowers enable reproduction

6. Waves and Their Application in Technologies for Information Transfer

1. Light & Seeing in the Dark: Observe that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated by a light source
2. 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

7. Energy

1. Sunlight warms things up: Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface, noticing that sunlight warms the ground, water, and objects
