By the end of the lesson, children can understand what a source of light is and that some objects reflect light better than others.
4.4.6 – How are shadows formed?
By the end of the lesson, children can understand that when an object blocks light, a shadow is formed; and that shadows get bigger when an object is close to the light source and get smaller when an object is far away from the light source.
4.5.1 – 4.5.3 – What is Energy? – Food Chain –
By the end of the lesson, children can understand that the sun is the primary source of energy and that energy is transferred from plants or animals to other animals in a food chain. Children can draw a food chain to demonstrate their understanding.
4.5.4 – (Electricity) Conductors and Insulators
By the end of the lesson, children can understand which materials are conductors of electricity and which are insulators and give everyday examples.
4.6.1 – What is a mixture and what is a solution?
By the end of the lesson, children can demonstrate how different materials can be mixed together to form mixtures.
4.6.2 – What is a chemical reaction?
By the end of the lesson, children can observe different chemical reactions, namely rusting and explain what is meant by chemical reactions.
4.6.3 – Reversible and irreversible changes.
By the end of the lesson, children can describe different changes in materials when they are brought together and to be able to recognise them as reversible or irreversible changes.
4.6.4 – Materials – Is it Natural or Man-made?

By the end of the lesson, children can identify and classify some common plants in the local environment.
4.8.1 – 4.8.2 – Forces around us
By the end of the lesson, children can explain what force is and give examples of different types of forces. They can demonstrate that friction is a force that opposes the movement of one surface over another.
4.8.3 – 4.8.4 – Friction on different surfaces
By the end of the lesson, children can explain this force produces heat and slows down a moving object. Children can give examples of when friction is useful and when it is not.
4.9.1 – 4.9.2 – Our Solar System
By the end of the lesson, children can understand that our solar system is made up of eight planets orbiting the sun and includes dwarf planets, asteroids and other matter.
4.9.3 – Design your own alien
By the end of the lesson, children can name the planets in our solar system and draw similarities and differences between the Sun, the Moon and the Earth. Adapted from https://www.unawe.org/activity/eu-unawe1304/
4.9.4 – Galileo and his telescope
By the end of the lesson, children can conduct research about scientists who made discoveries about space.
Learning Outcome 4.2.1 and 4.2.3: Plant parts and their function
By the end of the lesson, children can classify plants as living things; describe the vital functions of plant parts; understand that plants are important to humans and other living things; identify the elements needed for a plant to grow.
Learning Outcome 4.2.2: Importance of plants
By the end of the lesson, children can understand that plants are important to humans and other living things.
Learning Outcome 4.3.1: A healthy plate
By the end of the lesson, children can explore different food types using different food items, pictures of food, by conducting research and knowing about the healthy plate.
Learning Outcome 4.3.2: Food hygiene
By the end of the lesson, children can demonstrate proper hygiene while cooking and keeping food safe.
