Sorting the living from the non-living, grouping materials by what light and water do to them, water in its three states, magnets and thermometers — and why a measurement needs a unit everyone agrees on.

Chemical sciences
- Materials around usLesson
Group materials by whether you can see through them, whether they dissolve in water, and whether they shine — and say what makes something matter.
- States of water and the water cycleLesson
Tell the three states of water apart by how they behave, name the changes between them, and follow water round the water cycle.
Physical sciences
- Exploring magnetsLesson
Sort materials into magnetic and non-magnetic, find the poles of a magnet, and work out what happens when two magnets are brought together.
- Temperature and its measurementLesson
Say why touch cannot judge hotness, read a thermometer correctly, and convert a Celsius temperature to the Kelvin scale.
