Year 5 End of Year Expectations – Becoming a Scientist Physics Light Investigate how light behaves using reflections and shadows and explain patterns in my results. Understand that light travels from a source and know that light sources are seen when light from them enters the eyes. Draw diagrams with lines and arrows to show how we see things when light is reflected from them. Explain the difference between the shadows and reflection in terms of the path of light. Biology Animals, including humans Identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system and why they are important. Understand that exercise increases heart beat to take blood more rapidly to the muscles that need it. Understand that the heart works as a pump to pump blood around the body to all living cells through blood vessels. Know that has different functions. Investigate the structure of the lungs and what happens when we breathe in and out. Make careful, repeated measurements of pulse rates and record results, explaining what these results show and use the patterns to draw conclusions. Explain what the effect of diet and exercise are on our health. Give examples of harmful and helpful effects of drugs on our body. Research the work of scientists such as Jenner and Pasteur, finding out how their discoveries improved people’s health. Chemistry Properties and changes of materials (2 half terms) 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. Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials, including metals, wood and plastic. Know that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution. Know that there are factors that affect the rate of dissolving. Demonstrate that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes. Use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating. 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.
