1. Engineering, Technology, & Applications of Science

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. 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. Earth and Human Activity

1. Local weather patterns: Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions
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. From Molecules to Organisms: Structures & Processes

1. What Living Things Need: Understand what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive: water, food, air, and suitable conditions

4. 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
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

5. Motion and Stability: Forces 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
