Goal: The national curriculum in England: Key stages 1 and 2 framework document, Key stage 1

## 1. Working scientifically

- [Asking scientific questions](https://ai.page/c/asking-scientific-questions/index.md): Ask simple scientific questions and recognise that they can be answered in different ways including observation, testing, and research
- [Observing with simple equipment](https://ai.page/c/observing-with-simple-equipment/index.md): Observe closely using simple equipment such as hand lenses, and use observations to describe, compare, and identify things
- [Simple tests and experiments](https://ai.page/c/simple-tests-and-experiments/index.md): Perform simple tests and use observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions
- [Recording Data](https://ai.page/c/recording-data/index.md): Gather and record data using simple methods such as tables, tally charts, and drawings to help answer questions

## 2. Animals, including humans

- [Naming Common Animals](https://ai.page/c/naming-common-animals/index.md): Identify and name common animals from major groups: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals
- [Herbivores, Carnivores & Omnivores](https://ai.page/c/herbivores-carnivores-and-omnivores/index.md): Classify common animals as carnivores (eat meat), herbivores (eat plants), or omnivores (eat both)
- [Animal Body Groups](https://ai.page/c/animal-body-groups/index.md): Describe and compare the external body structure of common animals across groups (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals)
- [Body Parts & Senses](https://ai.page/c/body-parts-and-senses/index.md): Identify, name, and locate basic parts of the human body and associate each body part with its sense
- [Animal Life Stages](https://ai.page/c/animal-life-stages/index.md): Recognise that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults, and describe basic animal life stages
- [What Living Things Need](https://ai.page/c/what-living-things-need/index.md): Understand what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive: water, food, air, and suitable conditions

## 3. Everyday materials

- [Objects vs Materials](https://ai.page/c/objects-vs-materials/index.md): Distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made, understanding that objects can be made from different materials
- [Naming Everyday Materials](https://ai.page/c/naming-everyday-materials/index.md): Identify and name a variety of everyday materials including wood, plastic, glass, metal, water, and rock
- [Describing Material Properties](https://ai.page/c/describing-material-properties/index.md): Describe simple physical properties of everyday materials such as hard/soft, stretchy/stiff, shiny/dull, rough/smooth, waterproof/absorbent, transparent/opaque
- [Grouping Materials](https://ai.page/c/grouping-materials/index.md): Compare and group everyday materials based on their simple physical properties

## 4. Plants

- [Common Plants & Trees](https://ai.page/c/common-plants-and-trees/index.md): Identify and name common wild and garden plants, including deciduous and evergreen trees
- [Parts of a Plant](https://ai.page/c/parts-of-a-plant/index.md): Identify and describe the basic structure of common flowering plants (roots, stem, leaves, flowers) and trees (roots, trunk, branches, leaves)
- [Seeds & Plant Growth](https://ai.page/c/seeds-and-plant-growth/index.md): Observe and describe how seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants through stages of germination and growth
- [What Plants Need to Grow](https://ai.page/c/what-plants-need-to-grow/index.md): Understand that plants need water, light, and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy

## 5. Seasonal changes

- [Seasonal changes](https://ai.page/c/seasonal-changes/index.md): Observe changes across the four seasons and describe weather associated with each season, including how day length varies
- [Why seasons change](https://ai.page/c/why-seasons-change/index.md): 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

## 6. Living things and their habitats

- [Living, Dead & Never Alive](https://ai.page/c/living-dead-and-never-alive/index.md): Explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive
- [Habitats & Basic Needs](https://ai.page/c/habitats-and-basic-needs/index.md): 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
- [Local Plants & Animals](https://ai.page/c/local-plants-and-animals/index.md): Identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including microhabitats such as under a log or in a pond
- [Simple Food Chains](https://ai.page/c/simple-food-chains/index.md): Describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain, and identify different sources of food

## 7. Uses of everyday materials

- [Choosing the Right Material](https://ai.page/c/choosing-the-right-material/index.md): Identify and compare the suitability of everyday materials for particular uses, explaining why specific materials are chosen for specific purposes
- [Changing Shapes of Solids](https://ai.page/c/changing-shapes-of-solids/index.md): Investigate how the shapes of solid objects can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting, and stretching
