This unit develops an understanding of the different properties of solids, liquids and gases, the water cycle and compounds and mixtures.  By using this knowledge they will go on to identify hazards in the laboratory, this also provides opportunities to introduce the methods of working in a science lab, which will differ from the science learning experience that most students will have had previously.}

^{Students will have the opportunity to learn and extend their understanding  that natural causes and  mankind can affect climate change. This includes the impact of human activity and the importance of biodiversity. With a general theme about explorers, this unit looks at ecosystems and the factors that affect them. This includes the impact of human activity and the importance of biodiversity.This unit builds on work from KS2 on the Solar System and looks at the Earth, including the seasons and the Earth’s magnetic field and gravity. It also looks at the Solar System and what is beyond the Solar System. The theme is exploring the Solar System – in terms of observations and the use of models as well as via astronauts.}
