1. Observable Patterns In The Sky

1. Earth's rotation and day/night: Use the idea of the Earth's rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky
2. Star Brightness & Distance: Support an argument that the apparent brightness of the sun and stars is due to their relative distances from Earth, understanding the sun is a relatively close star

2. Wave Patterns

1. Patterns & Codes for Information: Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information, such as codes and signals
2. How We See Objects: Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen
3. 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

3. Energy Transfer

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

4. Organisms Functioning In Their Environment

1. How fossils form: Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time
2. Fossils as Evidence: Analyse and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of organisms and environments that existed long ago
3. 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
4. Structures for Survival: Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behaviour, and reproduction
