Science // Energy

Observe and provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents

Science // Energy

Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object

Science // Energy

Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide

Science // Energy

Associate the brightness of a lamp or volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in a series circuit

Science // Energy

Compare and give reasons for variations in how circuit components function, including brightness of bulbs, loudness of buzzers, and switch positions

Science // Energy

Identify the main energy stores (kinetic, gravitational potential, elastic potential, thermal, chemical, nuclear, electromagnetic) and the pathways by which…

Science // Energy

Explain the principle of conservation of energy (energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred between stores), and describe how energy is dissipated…

Science // Energy

Understand that electric current is the rate of flow of charge (measured in amperes using an ammeter), and that potential difference (voltage) is the energy…

Science // Energy

Explain static electricity as the build-up of electric charge through friction, describe how charged objects attract or repel each other, and relate static…

Science // Energy

Distinguish between renewable energy resources (solar, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, geothermal, biomass) and non-renewable resources (coal, oil, gas, nuclear)…

Science // Energy

Describe and compare the three mechanisms of heat transfer — conduction (particle vibration through solids), convection (fluid movement in liquids/gases), and…

Science // Energy

Define power as the rate of energy transfer (power = energy ÷ time, measured in watts), and compare energy transfer rates in different everyday contexts

Science // Energy

Describe and apply the rules for current, voltage, and resistance in series and parallel circuits, and explain the practical uses of each circuit type

Science // Forces & Motion

Understand that pushes and pulls are forces that can change the speed or direction of an object's motion, and compare the effects of different strengths and…

Science // Forces & Motion

Compare how things move on different surfaces, noticing that some surfaces create more friction than others

Science // Forces & Motion

Notice that some forces need contact between two objects (contact forces) while magnetic forces can act at a distance (non-contact forces)

Science // Forces & Motion

Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others

Science // Forces & Motion

Describe magnets as having two poles (north and south) and predict whether two magnets will attract or repel based on which poles face each other

Science // Forces & Motion

Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object

Science // Forces & Motion

Identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance, and friction, and understand that these forces act between moving surfaces to oppose motion

Science // Forces & Motion

Recognise that some mechanisms including levers, pulleys, and gears allow a smaller force to have a greater effect

Science // Forces & Motion

Explain relative motion — how the apparent speed and direction of an object depends on the observer's own motion — using everyday examples such as trains and…

Science // Forces & Motion

Calculate average speed using the equation speed = distance ÷ time, represent journeys on distance-time graphs, and interpret gradient as speed and flat…

Science // Forces & Motion

Distinguish between mass (amount of matter, measured in kg) and weight (gravitational force, measured in N), use the equation weight = mass × gravitational…
