Working scientifically:  

Plan enquiries, including recognising and controlling variables where necessary. 

Use appropriate techniques, apparatus, and materials during fieldwork and laboratory work. Record data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, classification keys, tables, bar and line graphs, and models. 

Report findings from enquiries, including oral and written explanations of results, explanations involving causal relationships, and conclusions. 

Present findings in written form, displays and other presentations. 

To understand animals and humans:  

Identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood.  

Recognise the importance of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way the human body functions.   

Physics - Light

Y6 light

Working scientifically: Plan enquiries, including recognising and 

controlling variables where necessary. Use appropriate techniques,

apparatus, and materials during fieldwork and laboratory work. 

Report findings from enquiries, including oral and written explanations

of results, explanations involving causal relationships, and conclusions. 

Present findings in written form, displays and other presentations. 

To understand light and seeing: Understand that light appears to

travel in straight lines. Use the idea that light travels in straight

lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eyes.
