• 5TWSc.03 Choose equipment to carry out an investigation and use it appropriately.

BIS Long Term Plan - 2022/23

•5TWSc.04 Decide when observations and measurements need to be repeated to give more reliable data.

•5TWSc.05 Take appropriately accurate measurements.

•5TWSc.06 Carry out practical work safely.

•5TWSc.07 Use a range of secondary information sources to research and select relevant evidence to answer questions.

•5TWSc.08 Collect and record observations and/or measurements in tables and diagrams appropriate to the type of scientific enquiry.

Scientific enquiry: analysis, evaluation and conclusions

• 5TWSa.01 Describe the accuracy of predictions, based on results.

• 5TWSa.02 Describe patterns in results, including identifying any anomalous results.

• 5TWSa.03 Make a conclusion from results informed by scientific understanding.

• 5TWSa.04 Suggest how an investigation could be improved and explain any proposed changes.

• 5TWSa.05 Present and interpret results using tables, bar charts, dot plots and line graphs.

Course/ Content Strands:

1 - Biology

Structure and function

• 5Bs.01 Know that not all plants produce flowers.

• 5Bs.02 Identify the parts of a flower (limited to petals, sepals, anthers, filaments, stamens, stigma, style, carpel, and ovary).

• 5Bs.03 Describe the functions of the parts of a flower (limited to petals, anthers, stigma and ovary).

• 5Bs.04 Describe the human digestive system, including the functions of the organs involved (limited to mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and
anus), and know that many vertebrates have a similar digestive system.
BIS Long Term Plan - 2022/23

Life processes

• 5Bp.01 Know that animals, including humans, need an adequate, balanced diet in order to be healthy.

• 5Bp.02 Know the stages in the life cycle of a flowering plant.

• 5Bp.03 Describe how flowering plants reproduce by pollination, fruit and seed production, and seed dispersal.

2 – Chemistry

Materials and their structure

• 5Cm.01 Use the particle model to describe solid, liquids (including solutions) and gases.

• 5Cm.02 Understand that substances can be gaseous and know the common gases at room temperature (limited to oxygen, carbon dioxide, water (vapour), nitrogen and
hydrogen).

Properties of materials

• 5Cp.01 Know that the ability of a solid to dissolve and the ability of a liquid to act as a solvent are properties of the solid and liquid.

• 5Cp.02 Know the main properties of water (limited to boiling point, melting point, expands when it solidifies, and its ability to dissolve a range of substances) and know that
water acts differently from many other substances.

Changes to materials

• 5Cc.01 Describe the processes of evaporation and condensation, using the particle model and relating the processes to changes in temperature.
BIS Long Term Plan - 2022/23

• 5Cc.02 Understand that dissolving is a reversible process and investigate how to separate the solvent and solute after a solution is formed.

• 5Cc.03 Investigate and describe the process of dissolving, and relate it to mixing.

3 – Physics

Forces and energy

• 5Pf.01 Identify a range of forces (limited to gravity, applied forces, normal forces, upthrust, friction, air resistance and water resistance).

• 5Pf.02 Know that an object may have multiple forces acting upon it, even when at rest.

• 5Pf.03 Use force diagrams to show the name and direction of forces acting on an object.

Light and sound

• 5Ps.01 Investigate how sounds are made by vibrating sources.

• 5Ps.02 Describe sounds in terms of high or low pitch and loud or quiet volume.

• 5Ps.03 Investigate how to change the volume and pitch of sounds.

Electricity and magnetism

• 5Pe.01 Know the difference between a magnet and a magnetic material.

• 5Pe.02 Know that forces act over a distance between magnets, and between a magnet and a magnetic material.

• 5Pe.03 Know that magnets can have different magnetic strengths.

3 – Earth and Space

Planet Earth

• 5ESp.01 Know that the Earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere, which is a mixture of different gases (including nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen).

• 5ESp.02 Understand that most water on Earth is not pure and has dissolved substances in it.
BIS Long Term Plan - 2022/23

• 5ESp.03 Understand that pollution is the introduction of substances by humans that harm the environment and identify examples of pollution.

Cycles on Earth

• 5ESc.01 Describe the water cycle (limited to evaporation, condensation and precipitation).

Cycles on Earth

• 5ESs.01 Describe the orbit of the Earth around the Sun (limited to slight ellipse, anticlockwise direction and the duration).

• 5ESs.02 Describe how the tilt of the Earth can create different seasons in different places.

• 5ESs.03 Know that a satellite is an object in space that orbits a larger object and a moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planet.

Context Strands:

• 5SIC.01 Describe how scientific knowledge and understanding changes over time through the use of evidence gained by enquiry.

• 5SIC.02 Describe how science is used in their local area.

• 5SIC.03 Use science to support points when discussing issues, situations or actions.

• 5SIC.04 Identify people who use science, including professionally, in their area and describe how they use science.

• 5SIC.05 Discuss how the use of science and technology can have positive and negative environmental effects on their local area.
