Animal Groups
The child groups animals as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, compares their bodies, and sorts them as carnivores, herbivores and omnivores.
Elementary School Science
Elementary Science features life cycles, matter properties, Earth systems, physical forces, scientific method, and hands-on investigations across all science domains.
Grade 1 Science
6 lessonsBeing a Scientist
The child asks simple questions, observes closely with a magnifier, sorts and compares, carries out a simple test with help and records results in pictures, tally charts and pictograms.
Growing Up Healthy
The child explains that animals including humans have offspring that grow, names basic needs, and links exercise, a balanced plate and handwashing to staying healthy.
Hot and Cold Places of the World
The child explains why places near the equator are hot and places near the poles are cold, and describes how people, plants and animals live in hot, cold and temperate places.
Sun, Moon and Stars
The child observes and records where the Sun rises and sets, how the Moon's shape changes over a month, and that stars are seen at night, and describes these as repeating patterns.
Weather and Seasons
The child measures and records weather with simple instruments over weeks, compares seasons, and notices how day length changes through the year.
Grade 2 Science
5 lessonsEveryday Materials
The child tells an object from the material it is made of, compares materials by simple properties, and explains why a material suits a job; they squash, bend, twist and stretch materials to change their shape.
Growing Up Healthy
The child explains that animals including humans have offspring that grow, names basic needs, and links exercise, a balanced plate and handwashing to staying healthy.
Parts of a Plant
The child explains what each part of a flowering plant does, shows how water travels up a stem, and describes how flowers make seeds that are spread.
Land and Water
The child describes the kinds of land and water on Earth, compares rocks, sand and soil, and shows how wind and water can change the shape of land quickly or slowly.
Habitats and Food Chains
The child sorts things as living, dead or never alive, explores local habitats and microhabitats, and builds simple food chains.
Grade 3 Science
6 lessonsAdaptation and Evolution
The child explains that offspring vary and resemble their parents, that adaptations suit living things to their environment, and that fossils show living things have changed over very long times.
Hot and Cold Places of the World
The child explains why places near the equator are hot and places near the poles are cold, and describes how people, plants and animals live in hot, cold and temperate places.
Life Cycles of Plants and Animals
The child compares the life cycles of a mammal, a bird, an amphibian, an insect and a flowering plant, and describes simple sexual and asexual reproduction in plants.
Fair Tests
The child plans a fair test, decides what to change, measure and keep the same, takes repeat readings, and presents results in tables, bar charts and line graphs to draw a conclusion.
Rocks, Soils and Fossils
The child compares and groups rocks by appearance and simple tests, explains how fossils form, and finds out what soil is made of.
Teeth and Digestion
The child names the main parts of the digestive system, describes the types of teeth and how to look after them, and follows food on its journey through the body.
Grade 4 Science
8 lessonsForms of Energy
The child explains that faster things have more energy, that energy moves as light, sound, heat and electric current, and that fuels and the Sun are energy sources.
Puberty and Life Stages
The child describes the stages of human life from baby to old age and the body changes of puberty, with accurate vocabulary and reassurance that timing varies.
Heart and Lungs
The child explains how the heart, blood vessels and lungs work together to carry oxygen and nutrients, takes a pulse before and after exercise, and links diet, exercise, smoking and drugs to health.
Parts of a Plant
The child explains what each part of a flowering plant does, shows how water travels up a stem, and describes how flowers make seeds that are spread.
Fair Tests
The child plans a fair test, decides what to change, measure and keep the same, takes repeat readings, and presents results in tables, bar charts and line graphs to draw a conclusion.
Rocks, Soils and Fossils
The child compares and groups rocks by appearance and simple tests, explains how fossils form, and finds out what soil is made of.
Teeth and Digestion
The child names the main parts of the digestive system, describes the types of teeth and how to look after them, and follows food on its journey through the body.
Volcanoes and Earthquakes
The child describes Earth's layers, explains how weathering and erosion slowly change land, and why volcanoes and earthquakes happen where they do, and how people reduce the harm.
Grade 5 Science
7 lessonsEarth, Sun and Moon
The child explains day and night with Earth's rotation, the year with its orbit, the Moon's phases, and the order and features of the planets; they link seasons to Earth's tilt.
Food Chains and Food Webs
The child sorts living things into producers, consumers and decomposers, builds food chains and simple food webs, and explains that plants make food using sunlight.
Gravity, Friction and Air Resistance
The child explains that unsupported objects fall because of gravity, tells mass from weight, measures forces in newtons and investigates air resistance, water resistance and friction.
Puberty and Life Stages
The child describes the stages of human life from baby to old age and the body changes of puberty, with accurate vocabulary and reassurance that timing varies.
Dissolving and Separating Mixtures
The child compares materials by hardness, solubility, transparency and conductivity, uses a simple particle idea to explain dissolving and states, and separates mixtures by sieving, filtering and evaporating.
Fair Tests
The child plans a fair test, decides what to change, measure and keep the same, takes repeat readings, and presents results in tables, bar charts and line graphs to draw a conclusion.
States of Matter and the Water Cycle
The child sorts materials as solids, liquids or gases, measures the temperatures at which water changes state, and explains evaporation and condensation in the water cycle.
