	. Nutrition/teeth - Identify that animals, including humans, need the right types and amount of nutrition, and that they cannot make their own food; they get nutrition from what they eat. - Identify the different types of teeth in humans and their simple functions.	Soil, Rocks & Fossils - Compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties. - Describe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock. - Recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter.	Light Introduction to light: - Recognise that they need light in order to see things and that dark is the absence of light. - Notice that light is reflected from surfaces. - Recognise that light from the sun can be dangerous and that there are ways to protect their eyes. - Recognise that shadows are formed when the light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object. - Find patterns in the way that the size of shadows changes	Fatal Forces! - Compare how things move on different surfaces. - Notice that some forces need contact between 2 objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance. - Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others. - Compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials. - Describe magnets as having 2 poles. - Predict whether 2 magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing.	Plants	Animals including humans – Skeletons Y4 – Animals including humans - Food chains
Year 4	VICIOUS VIKINGS	ROAD TRIP USA	POTIONS	OFF WITH HER HEAD	BURPS, BOTTOMS AND BILE	BLUE ABYSS
	Sound Introduction to sound: - Identify how sounds are made, associating some of them with something vibrating. - Recognise that vibrations from sounds travel through a medium to the ear. - 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. - Recognise that sounds get fainter as the distance from the sound source increases.	Electricity - Identify common appliances that run on electricity. - Construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers. - Identify whether or not a lamp will light in a simple series circuit, based on whether or not the lamp is part of a complete loop with a battery. - Recognise that a switch opens and closes a circuit and associate this with whether or not a lamp lights in a simple series circuit. - Recognise some common conductors and insulators, and associate metals with being good conductors.	States of matter - Compare and group materials together, according to whether they are solids, liquids or gases. - Observe that some materials change state when they are heated or cooled, and measure or research the temperature at which this happens in degrees Celsius (°C).	The Water Cycle,	The Digestive System	Living things and their habitats

Year 5	STARGAZERS	THE VICTORIANS	HOLA MEXICO	ISLAND	SCREAM MACHINE	PHARAOHS
	Earth and space Introduction to earth, space and solar system: - Describe the movement of the Earth and other planets relative to the sun in the solar system. - Describe the movement of the moon relative to the Earth. - Describe the sun, Earth and moon as approximately spherical bodies. - Use the idea of the Earth’s rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky.	Materials and their properties - Identify common appliances that run on electricity. - Construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers. - Identify whether or not a lamp will light in a simple series circuit, based on whether or not the lamp is part of a complete loop with a battery. - Recognise that a switch opens and closes a circuit and associate this with whether or not a lamp lights in a simple series circuit. - Recognise some common conductors and insulators, and associate metals with being good conductors.	All living things and their habitats - Describe the differences in the life cycles of a mammal, an amphibian, an insect and a bird - Describe the life process of reproduction in some plants and animals	Mixing and Separating	Forces	Animals – the changes as humans develop

	Life-saving Light! Building on Y3 light topic – Linked to WW2: - Recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines. - Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye. - Explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes. - Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them.	Evolution and Inheritance - Recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago. - Recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents. - Identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution.
