evaporation of candle wax and it is this that burns. Introduce safety and fire triangle. What are the factors that affect the burning candle? Earth and Space I know that the Earth, Sun and Moon are spherical in shape. I can observe and describe how shadows change as the Sun appears to move across the sky. I can describe the movement of the Earth, and other planets, relative to the Sun in the solar system. I know the 8 planets of our system and their order from the Sun. I know that the rotation of the Earth causes shadows to change through the day and causes the Sun to appear to be moving I can use the idea of the Earth’s rotation to explain day and night. I understand that it is only daylight on the side of the Earth facing the sun. I know the Moon orbits the Earth. I know that a moon is a celestial body that orbits a planet (Earth has one moon; Jupiter has four large moons and numerous smaller ones). I understand that the appearance of the Moon changes over 28 days due to it’s orbiting of the earth. I know that ideas about the solar system have developed over time by considering the work of scientists such as Ptolemy, Alhazen and Copernicus. Forces I can explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object. I know that friction is a I can describe some ways friction can be increased between solid surfaces. I can describe some of the factors that increase air and water resistance. I can measure forces using a forcemeter. I know that force is measured in Newtons. I can identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction, acting between moving surfaces. I can identify when frictional forces are helpful. I can name situations when I understand that force and motion can be transferred through mechanical devices such as gears, pulleys, levers and springs. I can research the use of these devices through history and
