SCIENCE

Autumn Term

Evolution and Inheritance

Children will be taught to:

● 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;

● understand the difference between recessive and dominant genes.

Motion and Forces

Children will be taught to:

● record data using a speed/distance/time graph;

● explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object;

● identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction, that act between moving surfaces;

● recognise that some mechanisms, including levers, pulleys and gears, allow a smaller force to have a greater effect

● explore the concepts of Newton's Laws of Motion

Acids and Alkalis

Children will be taught to:

● perform an investigation independently (focusing on creating their own indicator);
