Key Stage 2
Science
Skills:
1. search for, access and select
relevant scientific information, from a range of scientific sources,
including ICT
2. communicate clearly by speech,
writing, drawings, diagrams, charts, tables, bar charts, line graphs,
videos and ICT packages, using relevant scientific vocabulary
3. use standard measures and S.I. Units.
Enquiry:
Planning...
1. predictions, using some previous knowledge and understanding
2. where and how to find relevant information and ideas
Developing...
1. consider different interpretations and distinguish between 'facts', beliefs and opinions, giving reasons and begin to recognise bias
2. form considered opinions and make informed decisions.
The Sustainable Earth:
1. the daily and annual movements of the Earth
How Things Work:
1. forces of different kinds e.g. gravity
2. the ways in which forces can affect movement and how forces can be compared
Geography
Investigating:
1. observe and ask questions about a place, environment or geographical issue
2. organise and analyse evidence, develop ideas to find answers and draw conclusions
Communicating:
1. express their own opinions
Ask and Answer the Questions:
how are places/environments linked /connected to other places and environments? How am I and/or other people linked to other parts of the world?
PSHE
5.a. Share responsibility (of the experiment)
5.b. Feel positive about themselves (taking part in a worldwide experiment)
Key Stage 3
Science
Communication:
1. search systematically for, process and analyse information for a specific purpose, including ICT as appropriate
2. communicate logically by speech, writing, drawings, diagrams, charts, tables, bar charts, line graphs, videos and ICT packages using a wide range of scientific vocabulary, terms, symbols and conventions.
3. Work quantitatively, using appropriate mathematical conventions and using S.I. units appropriate to their work.
Enquiry:
Planning…
2. predictions using previous knowledge, understanding and preliminary work
3. a range of options as to where ad how to find relevant information and ideas.
Developing…
3. identify, describe and explain trends, patterns and relationships
4. using scientific prior knowledge to explain links between cause and effect when concluding
5. consider whether there is sufficient information to enable firm conclusions to be drawn, taking account of uncertainties/anomalies.
The Sustainable Earth:
1. the properties of solids, liquids and gases and how the particle model can be used to explain these properties.
Geography
Skills:
Understanding places, environments and processes…
1. explain the causes and effects of physical processes and how the processes interrelate
Investigating…
1. identify and establish sequences of questions for investigation e.g. what are the processes?
Key Stage 4
Science
Skills:
Communication…
1. recall, analyse, interpret, apply and question scientific information or ideas
3. present information, develop an argument and draw a conclusion, using scientific, technical and mathematical language, conventions and symbols and ICT tools.
Enquiry and practical skills…
1. plan to test a scientific idea, answer a specific question, or solve a scientific problem
2. collect data from primary and secondary sources, including ICT sources and tools
Data, evidence and theories and explanations – links between ideas and information in science…
2. appreciate how explanations of many phenomena can be developed using scientific theories, models and ideas
Geography
Enquiry:
1. identification of geographical questions and issues establishing appropriate sequences of investigation
2. identification and collection of evidence form primary sources and secondary sources
