Curriculum Objectives covered
- Year 5 - planning different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, including recognising and controlling variables where necessary
- Year 5 - recording data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, classification keys, tables, scatter graphs, bar and line graphs
- Year 5 - reporting and presenting findings from enquiries, including conclusions, causal relationships and explanations of and degree of trust in results, in oral and written forms such as displays and other presentations
- Year 5 - identifying scientific evidence that has been used to support or refute ideas or arguments
- Year 5 - explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object
- Year 5 - recognise that some mechanisms, including levers, pulleys and gears, allow a smaller force to have a greater effect
- Year 6 - recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago
- Year 6 - identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution
