Biological sciences

Beaks, claws and finsLesson
Read an animal's body like a set of tools: work out from a beak, a claw, a snout or a foot what its owner eats and where it gets about.

Earth and space sciences

Water — the essence of lifeLesson
Name the forms water takes, follow it round the water cycle, tell groundwater from surface water, and recognise the plants and animals that live in freshwater.

Physical sciences

Energy — how things workLesson
Say what energy does, name the sources a home and a vehicle run on, tell clean energy from fuels that pollute, and handle electricity safely.
