3a.1 Year 5 – Science Curriculum – ‘Earth and Space’: Space Session Plans (with links to other curriculum areas)

Chn use information provided to produce a short explanation about tectonic plates.

EAL:

Target L3

- Make accurate whole number measurements using standard measures (force in Newtons).

- Record observations using simple scientific language and vocab in tables and simple bar charts.

- Provide a simple description of their results using some science words.

Target L5 - Decide whether to repeat any readings and explain why.

- Record observations, data and results using clear sentences and scientific words and units in tables and bar charts (scale decided by child without support ).

- Explain results using scientific vocabulary (gravity, mass, weight, Newtons) offering reasons why weight changes between different planets.

Target L4

- Begin to recognise when to make repeat readings.

- Record observations, data and results with increasing complexity using clear sentences, scientific words and symbols in tables and bar charts (scale decided by child with support L4).

- Explain their results and use correct scientific vocabulary (gravity, mass, weight, Newtons).

Key Questions Do you know…?

What is a force?

What types of force are there?

* Can you identify the types of force at work in different scenarios?

Challenge Questions

Using calculators, work out what these objects would weigh:

a) on the moon b) on Jupiter

Explain your results using the words gravity, mass, weight and Newtons.

Target L3

- Pupils & comments:

Target L4

- Pupils & comments:

Target L5

- Pupils & comments:

Target L3

- With support make suggestions for setting up simple fair tests.

Make a decision about what variable to change from a choice of different options provided. (L3+).

- Record observations using simple scientific language and vocab in tables and a line graph.

- Provide a simple description of their results using some science words.

Target L5 Independently plan investigations and explain planning decisions

Decide when it is appropriate to carry out a fair test investigation, comparative test or alternative

Identify variables to change, measure and keep the same in order for a test to be fair

- Record observations, data and results using clear sentences and scientific words and units in tables and a line graph (scale decided by child without support ).

- Explain results using scientific vocabulary (growth, height, proportion, cranium, cm) offering reasons why there is more difference in height than cranium size between Y5 and FS children. .

Target L4

- Say why a fair test is needed and, with some independence, know how to vary one variable whilst keeping other variables the same

- Record observations, data and results with increasing complexity using clear sentences, scientific words and symbols in tables a line graph (scale decided by child with support L4).

Key Questions Can you…?

* Predict what you think you will find out and plan a fair test.

* Take and record accurate measurements and present them as a LINE GRAPH.

* Describe and explain your results by relating what you found to your prediction.

SHARING DISCUSSION

How can you explain this?

Explain your results using the words: seeds, micro-gravity, germination, warmth, water, oxygen, root, shoot
