Physics
- Electricity: Magnetic and Heating Effects: Learn how an electric current makes a magnet and produces heat. Study electromagnets, electric bells and fuses, and how heating effects are used in everyday appliances.
- Exploring Forces: Learn about contact and non-contact forces such as friction, gravity and magnetism, and how forces change the speed, direction and shape of objects.
- Pressure, Winds, Storms and Cyclones: Understand pressure in solids, liquids and air, and how differences in air pressure cause winds, storms and cyclones.
- Light: Mirrors and Lenses: Study reflection from plane and curved mirrors and refraction through lenses, and how the images they form are used in everyday devices.
Chemistry
- Particulate Nature of Matter: Learn that matter is made of tiny moving particles, and use this idea to explain solids, liquids, gases, diffusion and changes of state.
- Nature of Matter: Elements, Compounds and Mixtures: Sort materials into elements, compounds and mixtures and learn how they differ in composition and properties.
Biology
- Exploring the Investigative World of Science: Learn how scientists ask questions, make hypotheses, plan fair experiments, record observations and draw conclusions.
- The Invisible Living World: Beyond Our Naked Eye: Explore microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and protozoa, how we see them with a microscope, and how they help and harm us.
