Science // Matter & Materials

Observe that an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object, understanding that the pieces still exist

Science // Matter & Materials

Compare and group materials as solids, liquids, or gases based on their observable properties and behaviour

Science // Matter & Materials

Identify the role of evaporation and condensation in the water cycle, and associate the rate of evaporation with temperature

Science // Matter & Materials

Understand that some materials dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution by evaporation

Science // Matter & Materials

Explain that some changes result in the formation of new materials and are not usually reversible, such as burning, rusting, and reactions with acid

Science // Matter & Materials

Demonstrate that dissolving, mixing, and changes of state are reversible changes where no new materials are formed

Science // Matter & Materials

Compare and group everyday materials based on advanced properties: hardness, solubility, transparency, electrical and thermal conductivity, and response to…

Science // Ocean Life

Classify ocean animals into major groups: fish (breathe through gills, have scales), marine mammals (breathe air, warm-blooded, feed milk), and invertebrates…

Science // Ocean Life

Understand ocean food webs: multiple interconnected food chains where energy flows from phytoplankton (producers) through zooplankton, small fish, and large…

Science // Ocean Life

Understand that the ocean has different zones depending on depth and light: the sunlight zone near the surface where most life lives, the twilight zone where…

Science // Ocean Life

Name and locate the five oceans — Pacific (largest), Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic (smallest and coldest) — on a world map, and understand that they…

Science // Ocean Life

Understand that ocean animals have special adaptations for their environment: streamlined bodies for fast swimming, camouflage to hide from predators, blubber…

Science // Ocean Life

Know that the ocean has tides (water level rises and falls twice a day, caused mainly by the Moon's gravity), waves (caused by wind), and currents (rivers of…

Science // Ocean Life

Know that the ocean floor is not flat — it has mountains, valleys, and the deepest trenches on Earth — and that the deepest point is the Mariana Trench, deeper…

Science // Ocean Life

Know that coral reefs are built by tiny living animals called coral polyps, that reefs are home to more species than almost any other ocean habitat, and that…

Science // Ocean Life

Understand the connection between the ocean and climate: the ocean absorbs heat and carbon dioxide, drives weather patterns through evaporation, and ocean…

Science // Ocean Life

Understand ocean ecosystems as interconnected systems where living things (producers, consumers, decomposers) and non-living factors (temperature, salinity…

Science // Ocean Life

Understand how people protect the ocean: marine protected areas limit fishing and pollution, sustainable fishing prevents overharvesting, beach clean-ups reduce…

Science // Ocean Life

Identify ways humans harm the ocean — plastic pollution, overfishing, oil spills, and ocean acidification from carbon dioxide — and understand that most ocean…

Science // Ocean Life

Know that many ocean animals undertake remarkable migrations — humpback whales travel thousands of miles between feeding and breeding grounds, sea turtles…

Science // Ocean Life

Explore life in the deep sea: animals that make their own light (bioluminescence), creatures adapted to crushing pressure and total darkness, and hydrothermal…

Science // Organisms & Life Processes

Understand that plants need water, light, and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy

Science // Organisms & Life Processes

Observe that young plants and animals resemble their parents but are not identical, recognising inherited similarities and individual differences

Science // Organisms & Life Processes

Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all share the common stages of birth, growth, reproduction, and death
