Key Skills:

• Use different types of scientific enquiry to answer questions 
• Ask relevant questions that can be answered using a range of scientific enquiry approaches.
• Choose an appropriate approach to an enquiry (eg. fair test or observation).
• Set up simple practical enquiries using comparative and fair testing.
• Choose appropriate equipment for an investigation.
• Make systematic and careful observations using a range of equipment.
• Take accurate measurements using standard units (cm, g, oc), using a range of equipment, including thermometers and data loggers.
• Gather, record, classify and present data in a variety of ways to answer questions (eg. table, venn diagram, carroll diagram, bar chart).

Knowledge and Understanding:

• compare how things move on different surfaces
• notice that some forces need contact between two objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance
• observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others
• compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials
• describe magnets as having two poles
• predict whether two magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing
   

Knowledge and Understanding:

• identify and describe the functions of different parts of flowering plants: roots, stem, leaves and flowers
• explore the requirements of plants for life and growth (air, light, water, nutrients from soil, and room to grow) and how they vary from plant to plant
• investigate the way in which water is transported within plants
• explore the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed formation and seed dispersal.
