Year 3

• Plants (life cycles)
• Animals including humans (nutrition, skeleton and muscles)
• Rocks (fossils and soils)
• Light (reflection and shadows)
• Forces and magnets (magnetic materials, attracting and repelling).

Year 4

• Animals including humans (digestive system, teeth and food chains)
• Living things and habitats (classification keys)
• States of matter (changes of state, evaporation and condensation)
• Sound (vibration, pitch and volume)
• Electricity (simple circuits, insulators and conductors).

Year 5

• Animals including humans (human development from birth to old age)
• Living things and their habitats (life cycles and reproduction in humans and plants)
• Properties and changes of materials (dissolving, separating materials, reversible and irreversible changes)
• Forces (gravity, air resistance, water resistance, friction)
• Earth and Space (Earth, Sun and Moon, the solar system).

Year 6

• Animals including humans (circulatory system, diet and exercise, healthy living)
• Living things and their habitat (classification, characteristics of plant and animal groups)
• Light (how it travels, how we see, shadows)
• Electricity (voltage and power in circuits, circuit components, symbols and diagrams)
• Evolution and inheritance (how living things have changed over time, fossils, dinosaurs, adaptation to environment).
