Subject: Science Autumn Term Spring Term Summer Term Year 1 Seasonal Changes observe changes across the four seasons observe and describe weather associated with the seasons and how day length varies. Plants identify and name a variety of common wild and garden plants, including deciduous and evergreen trees identify and describe the basic structure of a variety of common flowering plants, including trees. Materials distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made identify and name a variety of everyday materials, including wood, plastic, glass, metal, water, and rock describe the simple physical properties of a variety of everyday materials compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of their simple physical properties. Animals including Humans identify and name a variety of common animals including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals identify and name a variety of common animals that are carnivores, herbivores and omnivores describe and compare the structure of a variety of common animals (fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals, including pets) identify, name, draw and label the basic parts of the human body and say which part of the body is
a light source is blocked by a solid object find patterns in the way that thesize of shadows change. investigate the way in which water is transported within plants explore the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed formation and seed dispersal. magnets and which are not? Can they notice that some forces need contact between two objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance? Can they compare and together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet? Can they identify some magnetic materials? Can they describe magnets have having two poles (N & S)? Can they predict whether two magnets will attract or each other depending on which poles are facing? support, protection and movement Year 4 States of matter Can they explain how the water cycle works? I can group materials based on their state of matter (sold, liquid, gas) I can describe how some materials can change a state I can explore how materials change state. I can measure the temperature at which materials change state. I can describe the water cycle. I can explain the part played by evaporation and condensation in the water cycle. Habitats I can group living things in different ways. I can use classification keys to group, identify and name living things (for others to use). I can describe how changes to an environment could endanger living things. Animals including humans I can identify and name the parts of the human digestive system. I can describe the functions of the organs in the human digestive system. I can identify and describe the different types of teeth in humans. I can describe the functions if different teeth. I can use food chains to identify producers, predators and prey. I can construct food chains to identify producers, predators and prey. Electricity identify common appliances that run on electricity construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers identify whether or not a lamp will light in a simple series circuit, based on whether or not the lamp is part of a complete loop with a battery recognise that a switch opens and closes a circuit and associate this with whether or not a lamp Sound I can describe how sound is made. I can explain how sound travels from a source to our ears. I can explain the place of vibration in hearing. I can explore the correlation between pitch and the object producing a sound. I can explore the correlation between the volume of a sound and the strength of the vibrations that produced it.
I can compare and give reasons for why components work and do not work in a circuit I can draw circuit diagrams using correct symbols I can explain how simple optical instruments work, e.g. periscope, telescope, binoculars, mirror, magnifying glass etc I can describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported in animals, including humans I can give reasons for classifying plants and animals in a specific way The skills of Working Scientifically will be taught throughout each term.
