understand how the respiratory system works, including breathing, gas exchange, blood and respiration
explore dissolving and solubility, and learn how to separate substances using practical methods
describe forces, speed, motion and pressure, and use particle ideas to explain how substances behave
understand different ecosystems, how organisms interact, and how human actions can affect habitats
recognise the structure of the atom and understand ideas linked to purity, weather, climate and atmospheric change
investigate how light behaves through reflection, refraction and colour, and describe what we see in space
understand nutrients, healthy diets, growth and how the body moves
describe common chemical reactions, including exothermic and endothermic changes and reactions of metals
explore magnetism, magnetic fields and electromagnets, and investigate how magnets can be used
develop practical skills by planning enquiries, collecting and analysing data, and drawing evidence-based conclusions
communicate scientific ideas clearly and use models to explain their thinking
appreciate how scientific knowledge develops through investigation, collaboration and peer review
recognise how science is used in society and industry and evaluate its impact on people and the environment
