Science

Programme of study	Knowledge, skills and understanding	Pupils should be taught	Online challenges	Activity cards
Sc1 Scientific enquiry	Ideas and evidence in science	1a that science is about thinking creatively to try to explain how living and non-living things work, and to establish links between causes and effects.	The search for energy On the trail of the energy wasters Our new school The town is going renewable	1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8
		2e to use simple equipment and materials appropriately and take action to control risks 2f to make systematic observations and measurements, including the use of ICT for data logging 2g to check observations and measurements by repeating them where appropriate 2h to use a wide range of methods, including diagrams, drawings, tables, bar charts, line graphs and ICT, to communicate data in an appropriate and systematic manner 2i to make comparisons and identify simple patterns or associations in their own observations and measurements or other data 2j to use observations, measurements or other data to draw conclusions 2k to decide whether these conclusions agree with any prediction made and/or whether they enable further predictions to be made 2l to use their scientific knowledge and understanding to explain observations, measurements or other data or conclusions		4, 8
Sc3 Materials and their properties	Grouping and classifying materials	1a to compare everyday materials and objects on the basis of their material properties, including hardness, strength, flexibility and magnetic behaviour, and to relate these properties to everyday uses of the materials 1b that some materials are better thermal insulators than others	Our new school	8
Sc3 Materials and their properties	Grouping and classifying materials	1c that some materials are better electrical conductors than others	The search for energy: Part 1 Energy at home	1
Sc4 Physical processes	Electricity	1a to construct circuits, incorporating a battery or power supply and a range of switches, to make electrical devices work	The search for energy: Part 1 Energy at home	1

Geography

Knowledge, skills and understanding	Pupils should be taught	Online challenges	Activity cards
Geographical enquiry and skills	1b to collect and record evidence 1c to analyse evidence and draw conclusions	On the trail of the energy wasters	10
	1d to identify and explain different views that people, including themselves, hold about topical geographical issues	The town is going renewable	10
	2a to use appropriate geographical vocabulary 2d to use secondary sources of information, including aerial photographs 2f to use ICT to help in geographical investigations 2g decision-making skills	The town is going renewable	10
Knowledge and understanding of places	3a to identify and describe what places are like 3d to explain why places are like they are 3e to identify how and why places change and how they may change in the future	Our new school The town is going renewable	4, 5, 10
Knowledge and understanding of patterns and processes	4b to recognise some physical and human processes and explain how these can cause changes in places and environments	The search for energy: Part 3 Power!	6, 7, 9, 10
Knowledge and understanding of environmental change and sustainable development	5a to recognise how people can improve the environment or damage it, and how decisions about places and environments affect the future quality of people's lives 5b to recognise how and why people may seek to manage environments sustainably, and to identify opportunities for their own involvement	The search for energy: Part 3 Power!	6, 7, 9, 10
