Science // Dinosaurs & Paleontology

Use dinosaur trackways (fossilised footprints) to make inferences about a dinosaur's size, speed, and behaviour — widely spaced prints suggest running, closely…

Science // Dinosaurs & Paleontology

Describe how palaeontologists work in the field and lab: prospecting for exposed fossils, careful excavation with hand tools, plaster jacketing for transport…

Science // Earth's Systems

Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land

Science // Earth's Systems

Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season

Science // Earth's Systems

Make observations and measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation

Science // Ecosystems & Habitats

Explore and use classification keys to identify, group, and name living things in local and wider environments

Science // Energy

Construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts: cells, wires, bulbs, switches, and buzzers

Science // Energy

Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another

Science // Forces & Motion

Make observations and measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion

Science // Forces & Motion

Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object

Science // Insects & Minibeasts

Using classification keys to identify minibeasts. Branching yes/no questions: 'Does it have legs?' → 'How many legs?' → 'Does it have wings?' Dichotomous keys…

Science // Matter & Materials

Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials including metals, wood, and plastic

Science // Matter & Materials

Plan and conduct an investigation to classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties

Science // Matter & Materials

Use knowledge of solids, liquids, and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated through filtering, sieving, and evaporating

Science // Organisms & Life Processes

Investigate how water is transported within plants, using observations such as coloured water being drawn up through a stem

Science // Scientific Inquiry

Analyse data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of each design

Science // Scientific Inquiry

Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem

Science // Scientific Inquiry

Gather, record, classify, and present data in a variety of ways including tables, bar charts, labelled diagrams, and keys

Science // Scientific Inquiry

Make systematic and careful observations, take accurate measurements using standard units and equipment including thermometers and data loggers

Science // Scientific Inquiry

Set up simple practical enquiries, comparative tests, and fair tests, understanding the importance of changing only one variable at a time

Science // Scientific Inquiry

Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints

Science // Scientific Inquiry

Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be…

Science // Scientific Inquiry

Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost

Science // Scientific Inquiry

Record data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams, classification keys, tables, scatter graphs, bar and line graphs
