Science
Spring 1
This term we will be learning about Light.
We will be learning to:
- recognise 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 eye
- explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes
- use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them
Autumn 1
This term we will be learning about Forces. This is consolidation of our learning from Year 5.
We will be learning:
Sc5/4.2a explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object
Sc5/4.2b identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction, that act between moving surfaces
Sc5/4.2c recognise that some mechanisms including levers, pulleys and gears allow a smaller force to have a greater effect
