In this Rocks and soil unit, pupils learn to describe in simple terms how fossils are formed. In the Evolution and inheritance unit, pupils will build on this knowledge to recognise that things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago.

In the Uses of everyday materials unit, pupils learnt to identify and compare the suitability of materials, including rock. In this Rocks and soils unit, pupils will build on this knowledge to compare and group different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties.

Rocks and soils 

In The human skeleton and muscles unit, pupils learn that humans and some other animals have skeletons and muscles for support, protection and movement. In The human digestive system unit, they will build on this knowledge to describe the basic parts of the digestive system in humans

In the Human body parts unit, pupils learnt to describe and compare the structure of common animals and identify and name the basic parts of the human body. In this The human skeleton and muscles unit, pupils will build on this knowledge to identify and name some common bones in the human skeleton

Introduction to the human skeleton and muscles

In this Simple forces including magnets unit, pupils learn to compare how things move on different surfaces. In the Forces including simple machines unit, pupils will build on this knowledge to identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction, that act between moving surfaces

In the Everyday materials unit, pupils learnt to compare and group together materials on the basis of their simple physical properties. In this Simple forces including magnets unit, pupils will build on this knowledge to compare and group materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet or not

Simple forces including magnets 

In this Healthy eating unit, pupils learn that animals, including humans, can not make their own food, they get nutrition from what they eat. In the Human circulatory system and Keeping healthy units, pupils will build on this knowledge to describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals, and the impact of diet on the way their bodies function

In the Healthy me unit, pupils learnt about the importance for animals, including humans, to eat the right amounts of different types of food. In this Healthy eating unit, pupils will build on this knowledge to learn that animals, including humans, need the right types and amounts of nutrition from food

Healthy eating

In this What plants do and what they need unit, pupils learn about the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants. In the Reproduction and life cycles unit: plants, they will build on this knowledge to describe the life process of reproduction in some plants

In the Growing plants unit, pupils learnt that plants need water, light and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy. In this What plants do and what they need unit, pupils will build on this knowledge to explore a greater number of requirements of plants for life and growth and how they vary from plant to plant

What plants do and what they need

In this Introduction to light and shadows unit, pupils learn that we need light in order to see and that light is reflected from surfaces. In the Light and how it travels unit, they will build on this knowledge to learn that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye

In the Everyday materials unit, pupils became familiar with the names of common materials and properties such as opaque and transparent. In this Introduction to light and shadows unit, pupils will build on this knowledge to recognise that shadows are formed when light is blocked by an opaque object
