Science // Dinosaurs & Paleontology

Understand that rock layers (strata) form in sequence with the oldest at the bottom and the youngest at the top, and that fossils found in deeper layers are…

Science // Dinosaurs & Paleontology

Classify dinosaurs into the two major groups based on hip structure: Saurischia (lizard-hipped, including theropods and sauropods) and Ornithischia…

Science // Dinosaurs & Paleontology

Describe the Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K-Pg) extinction event approximately 66 million years ago, including the asteroid impact theory and its evidence (iridium…

Science // Earth's Systems

Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land (mountains, valleys, plains) and bodies of water (rivers, lakes, oceans) in an area

Science // Earth's Systems

Identify where water is found on Earth and understand that water can exist as solid (ice) or liquid, recognising water in oceans, rivers, glaciers, and…

Science // Earth's Systems

Compare and group different kinds of rocks based on their appearance and simple physical properties such as hardness, texture, and colour

Science // Earth's Systems

Describe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock over millions of years

Science // Earth's Systems

Recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter, and that different soils have different properties

Science // Earth's Systems

Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world, distinguishing between weather and climate

Science // Earth's Systems

Analyse and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features, recognising that many features result from processes that occur over long periods

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how habitats provide for basic needs and how organisms depend on each…

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including microhabitats such as under a log or in a pond

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers and challenges to living things

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Construct and interpret food chains identifying producers, predators, and prey, and understand energy transfer between trophic levels

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways based on observable features

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive, such as herds, packs, or colonies

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Describe differences in the life cycles of mammals, amphibians, insects, and birds, comparing metamorphosis with direct development

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats
