2 humans of exercise, eating the right amounts of different types of food, and hygiene. identify and name a variety materials, including wood, plastic, glass, metal, water, and rock compare and group together a variety materials on the basis of their simple physical properties (attracted to a magnet or not) animals and plants, and how they depend on each other describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain, and identify and name different sources of food. including pets) identify and name a plants, including garden plants, wild plants and trees, and those classified as deciduous and evergreen observe changes across the four seasons (observe which animals& plants are present in local habitats throughout the year) Scientist to study / talks Zoo keeper talk Electrician to do a talk Ranger from Macc forest to talk

3 Working Scientifically During Year 2, pupils should be taught to use the following practical scientific methods, processes and skills through the teaching of the programme of study content: asking simple questions observing closely, using simple equipment performing simple tests identifying and classifying using their observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions gathering and recording data to help in answering questions

4 Science Topic Fair-test/pattern seeking Observation over time Classification and identification Sorting and classifying things according to whether they are living, dead or were never alive. They should describe how they knew where to place things Plants Animals including humans Habitats Setting up a comparative test to show that plants need light and water to stay healthy Describing the conditions in different habitats and microhabitats and finding out how the conditions affect the Observing and recording with some accuracy, the growth of a variety of plants as they change over time from a seed or bulb, or observing similar plants at different stages of growth Observe through video or firsthand observation or measurement how different animals including humans, grow

5 number and type(s) of plants and animals that live there. Uses materials Observe closely, identifying and classifying the uses of different materials, and recording their observations. Movement Asking questions about the movement of objects such as parachutes, toy cars and balloon rockets comparing them, by measuring how far they go; ordering their findings and recording their observations and measurements and drawing on their results to answer their question.
