Science

	Topic	Pupils should be taught	Online challenges	Activity cards
Scientific enquiry	1. The nature of science	1 to apply their ideas and knowledge and understanding of science when thinking about and investigating phenomena in the world around them 2 to consider information obtained from their own work and also, on some occasions, from other sources	The search for energy On the trail of the energy wasters Our new school The town is going renewable	1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
		3 that scientific ideas can be tested by means of information gathered from observation and measurement	The search for energy: Part 1 Energy at home The town is going renewable: Part 4 How much energy do we need?	1, 8
	2. Communication in science	1 to report their work clearly in speech and writing using relevant scientific vocabulary		1, 10
		2 to use a range of methods, including diagrams, drawings, graphs, tables and charts, to record and present information in an appropriate and systematic manner		1, 7, 8, 9
		5 to search for and access relevant scientific information		6, 9
	3. Investigative skills	1 to turn ideas suggested to them, and their own ideas, into a form that can be investigated 2 that asking questions and using their knowledge and understanding of the context to anticipate what may happen, can be useful when planning what to do	The search for energy: Part 1 Energy at home The search for energy: Part 3 Power! On the trail of the energy wasters The town is going renewable	7, 9
		4 that in situations where the factors can be identified and controlled, a fair test may be carried out. 5 to consider what equipment or other resources to use 8 to make careful observations and measurements and record them appropriately 11 to make comparisons and to identify and describe trends or patterns in data 12 to use the results of their investigations to draw conclusions 13 to try to relate the outcomes of their investigation or their conclusions to their scientific knowledge and understanding		7, 9
		6 to recognise the hazards and risks to themselves and others 7 to use equipment or other resources correctly taking action to control risks	The search for energy Part 2: Substations On the trail of the energy wasters	3, 7
Materials and their properties	Grouping and classifying materials	1 to compare everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including hardness, strength, flexibility and magnetic behaviour, and to relate these properties to everyday uses of the materials 2 that some materials are better thermal insulators/conductors than others	Our new school	8
		3 that some materials are better electrical conductors/insulators than others	The search for energy: Part 1 Energy at home	1
	Changing materials	7 that temperatures is a measure of how hot or cold things are		8
Physical processes	Electricity	1 that a complete conducting circuit, including a battery or power supply, is needed for a current to flow to make electrical devices work 2 to investigate how switches can be used to control electrical devices in simple series and parallel arrangements	The search for energy: Part 1 Energy at home	1

Geography

Topic	Attainment targets	Online challenges	Activity cards
1. Geographical enquiry and skills	When studying places and environments, pupils should be given opportunities to: 1 observe and ask questions about geographical features and issues 2 collect, record and present evidence to answer questions 3 analyse evidence, draw conclusions or opinions and communicate findings in an appropriate way	The search for energy: Part 2 Substations The search for energy: Part 3 Power! On the trail of the energy wasters Our new school The town is going renewable	3, 4, 5, 10
	When using geographical enquiry skills, pupils should be taught to: 9 use secondary sources for information, ideas and explanations 10 use ICT to gain access to additional information sources and to assist in handling, classifying and presenting evidence and communicating ideas		9
3. Theme	When studying the theme of environmental change, pupils should be taught to: 1 identify ways in which people affect the environment	The search for energy: Part 3 Power!	6, 7, 9, 10
	When studying the theme of environmental change, pupils should be taught to: 3 recognise that people have different views about changes to the environment	The town is going renewable	10
	During the investigations, pupils should be taught opportunities to: 4 formulate ideas and opinions about geographical issues and events	The town is going renewable	10
	During the investigations, pupils should be taught opportunities to: 5 understand the individual’s responsibility for the environment	On the trail of the energy wasters
