1. Forces, Motion, And Interactions

1. Pushes & Pulls: Understand that pushes and pulls are forces that can change the speed or direction of an object's motion, and compare the effects of different strengths and directions
2. Testing Push & Pull Designs: Analyse data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or pull

2. Living Things And Their Surroundings

1. What Living Things Need: Understand what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive: water, food, air, and suitable conditions
2. How Organisms Shape Habitats: Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals can change the environment to meet their needs
3. 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
4. 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

3. Weather Patterns

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
2. Building shade from the sun: Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area, such as a shade or shelter
3. Local weather patterns: Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions
4. Weather Forecasting & Safety: Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting and how people prepare for and respond to severe weather
