YEAR 5 Working and evidence I can ask simple questions and recognising that they can be answered in different ways. I can ask relevant questions and using different types of scientific enquiries to answer them. I can use simple models to describe scientific I can use test results to make predictions to set up further comparative and fair tests W S Planning Work I can identify and classify. I can perform simple using simple equipment, observing closely. I can set up simple practical enquiries, comparative and fair tests making accurate and careful observations. I can take accurate measurements using standard unit. I can use a range of equipment, for example thermometers and data loggers. I can plan different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions. I recognise and control variables where necessary. W S Obtaining and Presenting Evidence I can gather and record data to help in answering questions. I can gather, record, classify and present data in a variety of ways to help in answering questions. I can record findings using simple scientific language, drawings, labelled diagrams, keys, bar charts, and tables I can take measurements, a range of scientific equipment, with increasing accuracy and precision. I can record data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, classification keys, tables, bar and line graphs.
W S Evidence and Evaluating I can use my observations and to suggest answers to questions I can use results to draw simple conclusions and suggest improvements I can suggest new questions and predictions for new values in my results. I can identify differences, similarities or changes using my knowledge of scientific ideas and processes. . I can use straightforward scientific evidence to answer questions or to support their findings I can report and present findings from enquiries, including conclusions, causal relationships and explanation of results, in oral and written forms such as displays and other presentations. I can identify scientific evidence that has been used to support or refute ideas or arguments. All living things I can observe and name parts of a flower. I can explain how pollen and seeds are dispersed. I can suggest come conditions to test when investigating germination I can name and explain functions of parts of a flower. I can describe the processes of pollination, fertilisation, seed dispersal and germination. I can explain why it is important to use a number of seeds or plants in an investigation into growth or germination. I can explain why living things need to reproduce if the species is to survive. I can describe the life process of reproduction in some plants and animals by studying my local environment over the course of the year. I can compare, contrast and explain the differences in the life cycles of a mammal, an amphibian, an insect and a bird Animals including Humans I recognise some stages in the development of humans. I can recognise the stages in the growth and development of humans. I can describe the changes as humans develop from birth to old age.
evaporation of candle wax and it is this that burns. Introduce safety and fire triangle. What are the factors that affect the burning candle? Earth and Space I know that the Earth, Sun and Moon are spherical in shape. I can observe and describe how shadows change as the Sun appears to move across the sky. I can describe the movement of the Earth, and other planets, relative to the Sun in the solar system. I know the 8 planets of our system and their order from the Sun. I know that the rotation of the Earth causes shadows to change through the day and causes the Sun to appear to be moving I can use the idea of the Earth’s rotation to explain day and night. I understand that it is only daylight on the side of the Earth facing the sun. I know the Moon orbits the Earth. I know that a moon is a celestial body that orbits a planet (Earth has one moon; Jupiter has four large moons and numerous smaller ones). I understand that the appearance of the Moon changes over 28 days due to it’s orbiting of the earth. I know that ideas about the solar system have developed over time by considering the work of scientists such as Ptolemy, Alhazen and Copernicus. Forces I can explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object. I know that friction is a I can describe some ways friction can be increased between solid surfaces. I can describe some of the factors that increase air and water resistance. I can measure forces using a forcemeter. I know that force is measured in Newtons. I can identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction, acting between moving surfaces. I can identify when frictional forces are helpful. I can name situations when I understand that force and motion can be transferred through mechanical devices such as gears, pulleys, levers and springs. I can research the use of these devices through history and
