UKS2 Science
During Upper Key Stage 2, Pupils reuse and draw upon their understanding of states of matter in the study of Properties and changes of materials.
Change is also studied within Animals, including humans, focusing on growth and development of humans and animals.
Earth in Space develops the conceptual understanding of our place in the universe.
A study of Forces sophisticates the substantive knowledge acquired in KS1 and LKS2.
Living things and their habitats focuses on differences in life cycles of living things and how they reproduce. A further study of Living things and their habitats enables pupils in UKS2 to revisit and add to their understanding of classification through the taxonomy created by Carl Linnaeus. More complex animals are studied.
Light is revisited and taught with advanced substantive knowledge.
