VISUAL LANGUAGE_viewing and presenting
Phase:3
Conceptual Understandings:
Visual texts provide alternative means to develop new levels of understanding
Learning Outcomes:

WRITTEN LANGUAGE_ READING
Phase:3
Conceptual Understandings:
Wondering about texts and asking questions helps us to understand the meaning
Learning Outcomes:

WRITTEN LANGUAGE_ WRITING
Phase:3
Conceptual Understandings:
When writing, the words we choose and how we chose to use them enable us to share our imaginings and ideas
Learning Outcomes:

The study of the characteristics, systems and behaviours of humans and other animals, and of plants; the interactions and relationships between and among them, and with their environment.
Related concepts: adaptation, animals, biodiversity, biology, classification, conservation, ecosystems, evolution, genetics, growth, habitat, homeostasis, organism, plants, systems (digestive, nervous, reproductive, respiratory).

Earth and space 

The study of planet Earth and its position in the universe, particularly its
relationship with the sun; the natural phenomena and systems that shape the planet and the distinctive features that identify it; the infinite and finite resources of the planet.

Related concepts: atmosphere, climate, erosion, evidence, geography,
geology, gravity, renewable and nonrenewable energy sources, resources, seasons, space, sustainability, systems (solar, water cycle, weather), tectonic plate movement, theory of origin.

The study of the properties, behaviours and uses of materials, both natural and human-made; the origins of human-made materials and how they are manipulated to suit a purpose.
Related concepts: changes of state, chemical and physical changes, conduction and convection, density, gases, liquids, properties and uses of materials, solids, structures, sustainability.

Forces and energy 

The study of energy, its origins, storage and transfer, and the work it can do; the study of forces; the application of scientific understanding through inventions and machines.

Related concepts: conservation of energy, efficiency, equilibrium, forms of energy (electricity, heat, kinetic, light, potential, sound), magnetism, mechanics, physics, pollution, power, technological advances, transformation of energy.

Skills:
a. Observe carefully in order to gather data

b. Use a variety of instruments and tools to measure data accurately

c. Use scientific vocabulary to explain their observations and
experiences

d. Identify or generate a question or problem to be explored

e. Plan and carry out systematic investigations, manipulating variables as necessary

f. Make and test predictions

g. Interpret and evaluate data gathered in order to draw conclusions

h. Consider scientific models and applications of these models (including their limitations)

Learning Outcomes:

They will examine how products and tools have been developed through the application of science concepts.
Students will consider ethical issues in science-related contexts and use their learning in science to plan thoughtful and realistic action in order to improve their welfare and that
of other living things and the environment. Students will communicate their ideas or provide explanations using their own scientific experience and that of others.
