Ages 5 to 7ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Plant-Eaters vs Meat-EatersSort dinosaurs into plant-eaters (herbivores) and meat-eaters (carnivores) by looking at clues like tooth shape — flat teeth for plants, sharp teeth for meat
Ages 5 to 7ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology

Ages 5 to 7ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Real Dinosaurs vs FictionDistinguish real dinosaurs from fictional or commonly confused creatures — pterosaurs (flying reptiles) and plesiosaurs (marine reptiles) were not dinosaurs…
Ages 5 to 7ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Fossils Reveal Ancient EnvironmentsUnderstand that fossils tell us not only about ancient animals but also about ancient environments — for example, marine fossils found on a mountaintop show…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
How Fossils FormExplain in simple terms how fossils form: an organism dies and is quickly buried in sediment; over millions of years minerals replace the remains and the…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Fossilised Dinosaur DungDescribe what coprolites are (fossilised dinosaur dung) and how palaeontologists analyse them to discover what dinosaurs ate, including plant fragments, bones…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Types of FossilsDistinguish body fossils (preserved bones, teeth, shells) from trace fossils (footprints, trackways, eggs, burrows, coprolites) and explain what each type can…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
The Mesozoic EraPlace the three periods of the Mesozoic Era — Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous — in order and understand that different dinosaurs lived in different periods…
Ages 7 to 9ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Dinosaurs Around the WorldUnderstand that different dinosaurs lived on different continents and that fossil discoveries around the world show dinosaurs were a global phenomenon, with…

Shapes of land and waterDevelop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land (mountains, valleys, plains) and bodies of water (rivers, lakes, oceans) in an area
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Where water is found on EarthIdentify where water is found on Earth and understand that water can exist as solid (ice) or liquid, recognising water in oceans, rivers, glaciers, and…
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Properties of materialsCompare and group different kinds of rocks based on their appearance and simple physical properties such as hardness, texture, and colour
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
How fossils formDescribe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock over millions of years
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Rocks and soilRecognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter, and that different soils have different properties
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Ecosystems & Habitats
Plants and animals in their habitatsUse a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals and the places they live, connecting organism needs to habitat…
