Exploring living things and habitats
Explore the needs and features of living things and how habitats provide resources. Review the broad bank for your year group.
- Connect features, needs and habitats using evidence.
Thinking like a historian
Thinking like a historian: Dates and periods → Archaeology and written sources → Support a claim → Compare two accounts.
- Read BCE/CE on a supplied timeline and distinguish period labels from precise dates.
- Identify what different evidence can and cannot establish.
- Select a conclusion supported by supplied evidence and qualify uncertainty.
Light and shadows
Light and shadows: Seeing needs light → Reflection and safety → Shadows appear → Changing a shadow.
- Distinguish sources from reflectors and explain darkness.
- Recognise reflected light and safe ways to study sunlight without looking at the Sun.
- Explain shadows where opaque objects block light.
