puberty in humans.
05 Know that some diseases can be caused by infection with
viruses, bacteria, parasites or fungi that can be passed from
one host to another.
06. C. Describe how good hygiene can control the spread of
diseases transmitted in water, food and body fluids, and
0.6. B. describe ways to avoid being bitten by insect vectors.

Unit 2
Unit 2: Materials: Properties and changes
Learner book: P. 35 - 62
Workbook: P. 18 - 37
Objectives of this unit
01 Know that the temperature at which a substance changes
state is a property of the substance.
02 Know that gases have properties, including mass.
03 Understand that electrical conductivity and thermal
conductivity are properties of a substance.
04 Identify and describe physical changes that are
reversible.
05 Describe how temperature affects solids dissolving in
liquids and relate it to the particle model.
06 Describe the difference between boiling and evaporation.
07 Understand that chemical reactions involve substances,
called reactants, interacting to form new substances,
called products.
08 Observe and describe the evidence that a chemical
reaction has taken place (limited to a gas being produced,
colour change and change in temperature).
Unit 3
Unit 3: Rocks, the Rock Cycle and Soil
Learner book: P. 63 - 96
Workbook: P. 37 - 50
Objectives of this unit
01 A. Know that rocks can be classified as metamorphic,
igneous and sedimentary
01 B. describe the identifying features of each type of rock.
02 Describe the way fossils can form in sedimentary rocks.
03 Know that there are different types of soils and they
can be classified based on their clay, sand and organic
content.
04 Know that soil composition can change, which can
support, or hinder, plant growth.
05 Describe the rock cycle and the formation of
metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary rocks in terms of
solidification, erosion, sedimentation, burial, metamorphism
and melting.
Unit 4
Unit 4: Food Webs & Food Chains
Learner book: P. 97 - 111
Workbook: P. 51 - 59
Objectives of this unit
01 Interpret food webs and identify food chains within them.
02 Know that some substances can be toxic and damage
living things, and that these substances can move through a
food chain/web.
03 Identify the energy source of a food chain/web and
describe how energy is transferred through a food
chain/web.
Unit 5
Unit 5: Forces and Electricity
Learner book: P. 112 - 141
Workbook: P. 60 - 77
Objectives of this unit
01 Describe the difference between mass, measured in
kilograms (kg), and weight, measured in newtons (N)
02 Describe the effect of gravity and know that when
gravity changes, the weight of an object changes but the
mass does not.
03 Use force diagrams to show the name, size and direction
of forces acting on an object.
04 Use diagrams and conventional symbols to represent,
make and compare circuits that include cells, switches,
lamps and buzzers.
05 Make simple circuits and compare the brightness of
lamps in series and parallel circuits.
06 Recognise that the mass and shape of an object can
affect if it floats or sinks.
Unit 6
Unit 6: Light and the Solar System
Learner book: P. 142 - 166
Workbook: P. 78 - 91
Objectives of this unit
01 Describe how a ray of light changes direction when it is
reflected from a plane mirror.
02 Describe how a ray of light changes direction when it
travels through different mediums and know that this is
called refraction.
03 Describe the relative position and movement of the
planets, the Moon and the Sun in the Solar System.
04 Observe and describe the changes in the appearance of
the Moon over its monthly cycle.
