Investigations ROCKS AND FOSSILISATION I can compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties I can describe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock I can recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter Investigation – How do we separate rocks from soils?

Statistics Skeleton) ANIMALS INCLUDING HUMANS I can identify that animals including humans need the right amount and types of nutrients and that they cannot make their own food; they get nutrition from what they eat I can identify that humans and some other animals have skeletons and muscles for support, protection and movement. Investigation – Spellbound A Bony Problem – Does a rib cage protect your muscles? MAGNETS AND FORCES I can compare how things move on different surfaces I can notice that some forces need contact between two objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance I can observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others describe magnets as having two poles I can predict whether two magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing. I can 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 Investigation Magneti spellbound -Statistics and PLANTS I can identify and describe the functions of different parts of flowering plants: roots, stem/trunk, leaves and flowers I can 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 I can investigate the way in which water is transported within plants I can explore the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed formation and seed dispersal.
