1 Study Plan Subject: Science Grade: 5 Teacher: Ms Saher Month Date Week Learning Objectives with Framework code Dec Dec9- Dec 13 Week2 First Term Exam Prior Learning Resources Dec Dec16-03 Week3 Winter Break Week 1 Term-1 Reiteration Pl6 Unit 4 The way we see things 4.1 Light travel from a source Revise the fact that light travels by asking children to demonstrate this using torches. Explain and record how we can see light. Torches Opaque objects Plastic coated mirrors Week2 Revise and ask the children to demonstrate how shadows are formed. 5Pl7 Identify different light sources including the sun. Collection of dull/shiny materials 4.2 Mirrors Discuss everyday uses of mirrors. Mirror activities using them to see behind you etc. Depict direction of light beams by arrows on straight lines. Investigate which surfaces reflect light best shiny or dull? Week3 4.3 Seeing behind you. Powerful torch Dimly lit room 1 P a g e

2 5Pl8 4.4 Which surfaces reflect light the best 4.5 Light changes directions Demonstrate a powerful torch beam shining on a mirror. Trace the beams of light that can be seen. Discuss. Represent in own chosen way Unit 5 Shadows 5P15, 5.1 light travels in straight lines 5.2 Which materials let light through? Demonstrate light travelling in a straight line (revision). Group materials according to whether or not they create shadows. Record findings. Introduce terminology opaque and Variety of light sources. Selection of opaque/transparent solids transparent. Week4 5Pl2, 5.4What affects the size of a shadow? Play shadow games (revision). Make shadow puppets put on a show. Create silhouettes. Make shadows on playground Be able to identify shadows. throughout the day. Track changes. Use objects or children! 5Pl3, 5Pl4 5.5 Investigating shadow length Investigation: How does the position of an object affect the shadow? Design, plan and carry out an investigation. 2 P a g e

3 Pb1,5Pb2 Unit 6 Earth s movement 6.1 The sun, the Earth and the Moon Know how the spin of the Earth leads to day and night, e.g. Moon = bead Earth = tennis ball Sun = football Week1 6.2 Does the sun move? 6.3 Earth rotates on its axis. Demonstrate using a model figure on a globe and a strong torch as the Sun to show distance away from the Sun over 24 hours. Observe video evidence and record findings. Globe Secondary sources Internet/books Pb4, 5Pb3 6.4 Sunrise and sunset 6.5 Earth revolves around the sun 6.6 Exploring the solar system How the sun appears to move during the day. Secondary sources Internet/books Week2 6.7 Exploring the stars Discuss events during a year e.g. start of school year to next or new year to new year and how long the time span is. Model using children as the Sun and Earth. Look at video evidence Week 3 Forces and motion 6Pf1 Distinguish between mass measured in kilograms (kg) and weight measured in newtons, noting that kilograms are used in everyday life. Know that pushes and pulls are examples of forces and that they can be measured with forcemeters. Weighing scales. g and kg weights. Forcemeters of different scales. 6Pf2 Recognise and use units of force, mass and weight and identify the direction in which forces act Week 4 6Pf3 Understand the notion of energy in how forces, including friction, Variety of magnets, springs, elastic bands 3 P a g e

4 movement. 6Pf4 Recognize friction (including air resistance) as a force which can affect the speed at which objects move and which sometimes stops things moving. Introduce the term air resistance. can make objects move faster or slower or change direction. Parachute materials Investigation: Which parachute works best and why? Design, plan and carry out a full investigation. Report back using diagrams showing forces and the direction in which they are acting. Electricity and magnetism 6Pm1 Investigate how some materials are better conductors of electricity than others. 6Pm2 Investigate how some metals are good conductors of electricity while most other materials are not Mar Mar 03-Mar 07 Mar 10-Mar 14 Week1 6Pm3 Know why metals are used for cables and wires and why plastics are used to cover wires and as covers for plugs and switches. 6Pm4 Predict and test the effects of making changes to circuits, including length or thickness of wire and the number and type of components. 6Pm5 Represent series circuits with drawings and conventional symbols 5Cs1, 5Cs2 Unit 3 States of matter Know how to construct complete circuits using switch, cell (battery), wire and lamps. Know how an electrical device will not work if there is a break in the circuit. Know that matter can be solid, liquid or gas. Circuitry equipment. Objects/materials for inserting into circuit for testing. Set of common metals/ objects made from common metals. Different objects/materials Mindmapping/conceptmapping software. 3.1 Evaporation Kettle Mar Week Why evaporation is useful 3.5 Condensation Demonstrate steam turning into condensation use a ceramic tile. Discuss occurrences of condensation at Secondary sources for visual stimulus. Photographs or canned drinks/drinks containing ice-cubes. 4 P a g e

5 home kitchen and bathroom. 5Cc3, 3.6 The water cycle, Create an annotated display of the water cycle identifying evaporation and condensation within it. 5Cc4, 3.7,3.8 Boiling and Melting Provide examples of condensation. Annotate where the water vapour has come from Know that melting is when a solid turns into a liquid.
