In Science this term we will be learning about:

• Forces in Action
• Changes and Reproduction

Within Earth & Space we will:

• explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object
• identify the effects of friction acting between moving surfaces
• identify and explain the effects of air resistance
• identify and explain the effects of water resistance
• recognise that levers and pulleys allow a smaller force to have a greater effect
• recognise that gears allow a smaller force to have a greater effect

Within Changes and Reproduction we will:

• recognise the stages of growth and development in humans
• know the stages in the gestation period of humans and compare them to other animals.
• recognise the stages of development during childhood and understand the needs of children at those stages
• understand the initial changes inside and outside of the body during puberty
• know the changes that occur during puberty and how they differ for boys and girls
• understand how the body changes during adulthood and old age
