Explain the function and components of the human digestive system. Model how the spin of the Earth leads to day and night, e.g. with different sized balls and a torch. Explore, through modeling, that the sun does not move; its apparent movement is caused by the Earth spinning on its axis. Know that the Earth spins on its axis once in every 24 hours/ Know that the Earth takes a year to orbit the sun, spinning as it goes. Research the lives and discoveries of scientists who explored the solar system and stars. Describing a range of common materials, such as metals or plastics, and their uses/ investigating a particular property across a range of materials. Selecting materials for uses based on their properties; Investigate how materials change when they are heated and cooled/ Know that melting is when a solid turns into a liquid and is the reverse of freezing. (Boiling point of water is 100 C and the melting point of ice is 0 C). Reversible and Irreversible change Investigate how some materials are effective in preventing sound from travelling through them. Investigate the way pitch describes how high or low a sound is and that high and low sounds can be loud or soft. Explore how pitch can be changed in musical instruments in a range of ways Identify how sounds are made, associating some of them with something vibrating Find patterns between the pitch of a sound and features of the object that produced it Find patterns between the volume of a sound and the strength of the vibrations that produced it Recognize that a switch opens and closes a circuit and associate this with whether or not a lamp lights in a simple series circuit. Recognize some common conductors and insulators, and associate metals with being good conductors. Recognize ways that human activity affects the environment e.g. river pollution, recycling waste. Investigating how plants provide shelter for animals/ Investigating the roles of living things in a habitat, for instance producers, consumers or decomposers. Associate physical features of plants and animals with the environments in which they live, such as a webbed foot belonging to an animal living in the water or a thick stem and spines belonging to a plant living in the desert. Recognize and explain that some living things in a community of living things compete with others for food or space. Predicting the effects when living things in feeding relationships are removed or die out in an area. Recognizing that interactions between living things may be competitive or mutually beneficial. Describe the roles of living things at each link in a simple food chain (plants produce their own food, some animals eat plants, other animals eat the animals that eat plants Know that food chains begin with a plant (the producer), which uses energy from the sun. Understand the terms producer, consumer, predator and prey.
