In this unit, the students will learn about the uniqueness of the Earth, and
how important it is to safeguard the environment for our own and future
generations. They will learn about mans exploration of space, and the fact
that, so far, we are the only living beings known to exist in the Universe.
UNIT SUMMARY
In this unit, your students will review and extend their knowledge of the
Universe, Solar System, our own planet Earth and the Moon.
They will begin to study the Universe and celestial bodies, focusing on the
planet Earth, the Moon, and space exploration. In particular, they will start
to learn about the effects of the Earths rotation and revolution, and the
effect of the Sun and the Moon on the Earth.
At this stage, students should enjoy learning about the Universe and in
particular about how the movements of celestial bodies are evident in the
change from night to day, in the changes in season, and in the movements
of the tide. Many students will have a natural curiosity about space, and will
be fascinated to learn about the stars, planets, and moons, and about mans
exploration of space. This unit can open the students eyes to some of the
most important scientific advances in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Students read about space debris and will learn about the importance of
disposing of rubbish responsibly and looking after the environment. At this
age, children should be taking more responsibility for looking after the
environment, and they will learn about the damage that rubbish and litter
can cause, whether in space or on Earth.

UNIT SUMMARY
The students will learn about the four different components which make up
the Earth; the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. Having
studied these four spheres, the students will then move on to study their
representation in the form of maps, starting with geographic coordinates,
and moving on to political, physical and weather maps.
Students will also learn how to put this information into a more practical
context by learning how to use maps, how to calculate distance, and the
importance and use of digital maps.
This unit not only helps the students learn about where they live, but also
how to interpret information in the form of various types of maps and apply
it to their own lives. These are lifelong skills which the students will enjoy
learning and using.
VALUES AND ATTITUDES
In this unit, the students will learn more about the components of the Earth
and how they interact. They will also learn about how technology can help
preserve the environment, particularly about mapping and monitoring
endangered animals.
How we interact with the natural world.
How we can map and monitor the planet, and its inhabitants, to protect
them and the environment.
Fragile world
Students will learn how communication satellites can help us navigate using
GPS, and how in turn, this can be used to monitor and protect the
environment.

UNIT SUMMARY
The students will learn about the importance of climate and weather. They
will learn about the different components which affect the climate, and how
this shapes the lives of the people, animals and plants which are found living
there. The effects of weather are also explored as well as the ways in which
weather is measured and represented. We all experience climate and
weather; this unit will help the students understand and describe these
natural phenomena. The final part of the unit deals with the effect of
humans on the weather, and climate change. The students will learn that we
too affect the environment, and what we can do to reduce this impact.
VALUES AND ATTITUDES
In this unit the students will learn about the weather, and climate, two
factors which influence the way humans live all over the world. They will
learn about gathering data, and how to interpret the results in a meaningful
and relevant way. They will study how elements such as relief and altitude
affect the climate, and how plants and animals adapt themselves to the
climate zones.
Fragile world
Students learn about the theory of global warming and its impact on Earth.
They will read about the causes of global warming through the accumulation
of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and they will hypothesise on the
possible effects of a global rise in temperatures. They will also learn about
the Kyoto Protocol, and how we can help reduce emissions and our carbon
footprint.
