  1. Sorting and Classifying Living ThingsChildren learn how scientists sort living things into groups using observable characteristics and branching classification keys, practising with real animals and plants.
  2. Habitats, Food Chains and EcosystemsChildren explore how living things are suited to their habitats, learn to build and read food chains using producers, predators and prey, and discover what happens when a habitat changes.
  3. Teeth, Digestion and a Healthy DietChildren explore the human digestive system, the four types of teeth and their jobs, and what a balanced diet means — learning how food is broken down from mouth to large intestine and why good food choices keep the body healthy.
  4. Solids, Liquids and the Water CycleChildren explore solids, liquids and gases, discover how heating and cooling change states of matter, and trace water's amazing journey through the water cycle — from puddle to cloud and back again.
  5. Exploring SoundChildren explore how sounds are made by vibrations, how they travel through different materials, how pitch and volume can be changed, and why sounds get quieter with distance.
  6. Electricity and Simple CircuitsChildren learn to identify electrical components, understand what makes a circuit work, and predict what happens when components are added or changed — all through clear explanations, analogies and hands-on activities.
