Properties and changes of materials

Year 5

Sc4 Compare and group together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including their hardness, solubility, transparency, conductivity (electrical and thermal), and response to magnets
Sc5 Know that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution
Sc6 Use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating
Sc7 Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials, including metals, wood and plastic
Sc8 Demonstrate that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes
Sc9 Explain that some changes result in the formation of new materials, and that this kind of change is not usually reversible, including changes associated with burning and the action of acid on bicarbonate of soda

Rocks

Year 3

Sc7 Compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties
Sc8 Describe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock
Sc9 Recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter

Sound

Year 4

Sc10 Identify how sounds are made, associating some of them with something vibrating
Sc11 Recognise that vibrations from sounds travel through a medium to the ear
Sc12 Find patterns between the pitch of a sound and features of the object that produced it
Sc13 Find patterns between the volume of a sound and the strength of the vibrations that produced it
Sc14 Recognise that sounds get fainter as the distance from the sound source increases

States of matter

Year 4

Sc7 Compare and group materials together, according to whether they are solids, liquids or gases
Sc8 Observe that some materials change state when they are heated or cooled, and measure or research the temperature at which this happens in degrees celsius (°C)
Sc9 Identify the part played by evaporation and condensation in the water cycle and associate the rate of evaporation with temperature

Working scientifically

Year 3

ScWS1 Asking relevant questions and using different types of scientific enquiries to answer them
ScWS2 Setting up simple practical enquiries, comparative and fair tests
ScWS3 Making systematic and careful observations and, where appropriate, taking accurate measurements using standard units, using a range of equipment, including thermometers and data loggers
ScWs4 Gathering, recording, classifying and presenting data in a variety of ways to help in answering questions
ScWS5 Recording findings using simple scientific language, drawings, labelled diagrams, keys, bar charts, and tables
ScWS6 Reporting on findings from enquiries, including oral and written explanations, displays or presentations of results and conclusions
ScWS7 Using results to draw simple conclusions, make predictions for new values, suggest improvements and raise further questions
ScWS8 Identifying differences, similarities or changes related to simple scientific ideas and processes
ScWS9 Using straightforward scientific evidence to answer questions or to support their findings.

ScWS3 Recording data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, classification keys, tables, scatter graphs, bar and line graphs
ScWS4 Using test results to make predictions to set up further comparative and fair tests
ScWS5 Reporting and presenting findings from enquiries, including conclusions, causal relationships and explanations of and a degree of trust in results, in oral and written forms such as displays and other presentations
ScWS6 Identifying scientific evidence that has been used to support or refute ideas or arguments

Transcription - Spelling

Year 4

Writes from memory simple sentences, dictated by the teacher, that include words and punctuation taught so far

Vocabulary, grammar and punctuation

Year 3

Expresses time, place and cause using conjunctions
Introduces inverted commas to punctuate direct speech
Uses the forms ‘a’ or ‘an’ according to whether the next word begins with a consonant or a vowel eg a rock, an open box
