Outcomes and Indicators

Lessons

ST2-4WS: investigates by posing questions, including testable questions, making

predictions and gathering data to draw evidence-based conclusions and develop
explanations:
8
with guidance, planning appropriate investigation methods to test
predictions, answer questions or solve problems including, research and fair
tests

accurately observing, measuring and recording data, using digital

technologies as appropriate drawing conclusions and providing
explanations based on data and information gathered first-hand or from
secondary sources

8, 11

working collaboratively in conducting a range of appropriate investigation

methods, including fair tests, to answer questions or solve problems

11

drawing conclusions and providing explanations based on data and

information gathered first-hand or from secondary sources

10, 12

reflecting on their gathered evidence in relation to their own and others

conclusions

12

predicting what the findings of an investigation might be

2, 5, 6, 7, 10

using equipment and materials safely, identifying potential risks

ST3-5WT: plans and implements a design process, selecting a range of tools,

equipment, materials and techniques to produce solutions that address the design
criteria and identified constraints:
selecting and using research techniques appropriate to the task

developing a design brief collaboratively with others

6, 7

9
11, 12

selecting and using techniques for documenting and communicating design

11
ideas to others, eg drawings, plans, flow charts, storyboarding, modelling
and presentations, using digital technologies
ST3-11LW: describes some physical conditions of the environment and how these
affect the growth and survival of living things:
identify some physical conditions of a local environment, eg temperature,
12
amount of light and water
use gathered data to develop explanations about how changing the physical
12
conditions of the environment affects the growth and survival of living
things
ST3-12MW: A student identifies the observable properties of solids, liquids and
gases, and that changes made to materials are reversible or irreversible:
identify the properties of materials used in a familiar product and relate
them to its use.

Observe some irreversible changes that common materials undergo to

identify that the changes may result in new materials or products.

3, 4

Make and test predictions about the effect of temperature on the state of
some substances.

3, 7

Observe and describes some readily observable reversible changes that

materials can undergo
MA3-4NA: orders, reads and represents integers of any size and describes
properties of whole numbers:
use numbers of any size in real-life situations
MA3-12MG: selects and uses the appropriate unit and device to measure the
masses of objects, and converts between units of mass:
Select and use the appropriate unit and device to measure mass
EN3-1A: communicates effectively for a variety of audiences and purposes using
increasingly challenging topics, ideas, issues and language forms and features:
participate in and contribute to discussions, clarifying and interrogating
ideas, developing and supporting arguments, sharing and evaluating
information, experiences and opinions

2, 5, 6, 10

4, 7

3, 4

plan, rehearse and deliver presentations, selecting and sequencing

appropriate content and multimodal elements for defined audiences and
purposes, making appropriate choices for modality and emphasis

12

identify and summarise key ideas and information

10, 12

Accurately observing, measuring and recording data, using digital

technologies as appropriate
PHS3.12: Explains the consequences of personal lifestyle choices:
identifies the negative effects of sugary substances on teeth

10

analyses the chemical reaction that foods and drinks have on teeth

analyses the chemical breakdown of foods in the digestive system

11, 12

Researchers current global issues affecting the environment using

information from the internet
6

GDS3.9: Explains and demonstrates strategies for dealing with life changes:
prepares and presents work with others that shows the relationship
between functions (chemical reactions) of the body systems

SLS3.13: Describes safe practices that are appropriate to a range of situations and
environments:
Describes some of the situations where people may have allergic reactions
and the signs of an allergic reaction
