Term 3 Earth and Space Sciences
Year 1: Students use their senses to investigate the world around them. They will make predictions and draw labelled diagrams to discover changes to living things when making Jack in the Beanstalk models.
Year 2: Students will discover that Earth’s resources, including water, are used in a variety of ways. In Science lessons students will investigate water in detail, including the water cycle, how water is transferred from its source to the tap and how water can be filtered..
Year 3: Students discover that Earth’s rotation on its axis causes regular changes, including night and day. They learn about relative sizes and movement of the sun, Earth and moon. They will also use labelled diagrams to investigate the changes in size and direction of shadows.
Year 4: Students will learn about the properties of rocks and characteristics of soils. They will also investigate how the effects of weathering on rock size and shape.
Year 5: Term 3 promises to be busy with Earth and Space Sciences. Students will use ICT to study Earth’s place in the cosmos and show and discuss relative sizes and patterns. They will use their knowledge of the investigation process to see 'Whether the distance a planet is from the sun affects the time the planet takes to orbit.'
Year 6: Students use models of the Earth's surface to investigate different geological changes including volcano eruptions, earthquakes, storms and tsunamis.
