Science
Electricity
Associate the brightness of a lamp or the
volume of a buzzer with the number and
voltage of cells used in the circuit. Compare
and give reasons for variations in how
components function, including the brightness
of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the
on/off position of switches. Use recognised
symbols when representing a simple circuit in
a diagram.
Light
Recognise that light appears to travel in
straight lines. Use the idea that light travels in
straight lines to explain that objects are seen
because they give out or reflect light into the
eye. Explain that we see things because light
travels from light sources to our eyes or from
light sources to objects and then to our eye.
Use the idea that light travels in straight lines
to explain why shadows have the same
shape as the objects that cast them
Mrs Charlotte Davis

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. To identify how
animals and plants are adapted to suit their
environment in different ways and that
adaptation may lead to evolution.

common observable characteristics and
based on similarities and differences,
including micro-organisms, plants and
