Ask a scientific question, the plan a scientific enquiry to
find the answer

Use our results to say whether our predictions were
17 4 correct or not
Do practical work safely
Find out where materials come form
Ask scientific questions and work out which types of
scientific enquiry can be used to find the answers
18 4 Separating materials from rocks
Researches
Research answers to questions using books, videos or the
internet
Explain about metals and ores
19 4
Project (designing a reusable object)
20 Term I Exam
Investigate how light can pass through transparent
21 2 3. Light and shadows materials and is blocked by opaque materials
shadows Sort materials into transparent or opaque materials
Learn that shadows are formed when light from a source
is blocked by an object
22 4 Collect and record observations in tables them interpret
the results
Make a prediction and see if it is right
Investigate how shadows can change
September 23 4 Changing shadows Explore how shadows are formed when light is blocked by
an object
Make a prediction and see if it is right
Record results in a table then interpret these results
24 4
Describe simple patterns in results and make a conclusion
from results
Investigate how light can pass through transparent
materials and is blocked by opaque materials
25 4 Transparent materials
Identify risks and explain how to stay safe during practical
work

Make a prediction and see if it is correct
October
Describe simple patterns in results
27 4 Translucent materials
Record results using a table and make a conclusion
Talk about transparent, translucent and opaque materials
Stay safe when using glass in an investigation

Make predictions and see if they are right
Draw a diagram to show how translucent material
28 4 scatters light
Project (Opaque, translucent and transparent materials in
a house)
Find out where the important organs are in the human
4. Staying alive body
29 4 Find out what body organs do
Human organs Look at results recorded on a bar chart and look for
patterns
Make predictions and see if they are right
30 4 Collect observation in a table
Investigating breathing rates
Recognise the different body parts different groups of
animals
31 4 Animal groups and different life cycles Describe and compare the different life cycles of different
animals
Use observation to sort animals into different groups
Use a diagram to show how life cycles work
32 4 Use a bar chart to answer questions
Use information sources to research and answer question
Read, talk about, draw and write food chains
November Learn that in a food chain the plant is the producer and
33 4 Food chains
the animals are consumers
Use a diagram to show the steps in a food chain
Make a prediction about what might happen to a food
chain
34 4
Use information sources to research and answer question
Explore how fossils are impressions, or remains of things
35 2 fossils that were once alive
Make and use models in science
December 36 2 Project (do we affect the life cycles of animal?)
Use information sources to research and answer
37 2 questions
Making activity (make a fossil)
38 4 Revision and prepare for exam
39 Term II Exam
Measure forces using a force meter
40 4 5. Forces and magnets Measure using standard units
Compare standard and non-standard units
Forces and force meter
Explain them forces are pushes and pulls
Write down some different types of changes that happen
41 3
because of forces
Learn how the science of forces was different in the past
Learn about the force of gravity
Measure using standard units
