times). times). Properties and changes of materials compare and group together everyday materials based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, including their hardness, solubility, transparency, conductivity (electrical and thermal), and response to magnets give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials, including metals, wood and plastic Pupils should: explore and compare the properties of a broad range of materials. Properties and changes of materials understand that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating demonstrate that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes explain that some changes result in the formation of new materials, and that this kind of change is not usually reversible, including changes associated with burning and the action of acid on bicarbonate of soda. Pupils could: explore reversible changes, including, evaporating, filtering, sieving, melting and dissolving, recognising that melting and dissolving are Earth and space describe the movement of the Earth, and other planets, relative to the Sun in the solar system. describe the Sun, Earth and Moon as approximately spherical bodies. Pupils should find out about the way that ideas about the solar system have developed, understanding how the geocentric model of the solar system gave way to the heliocentric model by considering the work of scientists such as Ptolemy, Alhazen and Copernicus. Pupils should learn that the Sun is a star at the centre of our solar system and that it has eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pupils could: create simple models of the solar system; constructing simple shadow clocks and example seeds, stem and root cuttings, tubers, bulbs. Earth and space use the idea of the Earth s rotation to explain day and night. describe the movement of the Moon relative to the Earth. Pupils should be introduced to a model of the Sun and Earth that enables them to explain day and night. They should They should understand that a moon is a celestial body that orbits a planet (Earth has one moon; Jupiter has four large moons and numerous smaller ones). Pupils could: compare the time of day at different places on the Earth through internet links and direct communication; Pupils should find out about different types of reproduction, including sexual and asexual reproduction in plants, and sexual reproduction in animals. Compare how different animals reproduce and grow. Animals, including humans describe the changes as humans develop from birth to old age. Pupils should draw a timeline to indicate stages in the growth and development of humans. They should learn about the changes experienced in puberty. Pupils could compare data about the gestation periods of humans and other animals or by finding out and recording the length and mass of a baby as it grows. Forces explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object
different processes. Pupils should explore changes that are difficult to reverse, such as burning, rusting and other reactions, for example vinegar with bicarbonate of soda. sundials, calibrated to show midday and the start and end of the school day; finding out why some people think that structures such as Stonehenge might have been used as astronomical clocks. identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction, that act between moving surfaces understand that force and motion can be transferred through mechanical devices such as gears, pulleys, levers and springs. ICT General housekeeping for the start of the year making new folders and tidying old files Using Word drawing tools to produce a room plan. Learning the skills of selecting objects, copying and pasting, formatting shapes and rotating and grouping them. Using Word drawing tools to produce a net of a shape.
