system.
Discuss further details of the digestive
system including functions of the various
organs involved. Find out what happens
when we eat poisonous or bad food & how
illnesses can be caused by poor diets.

whom the unit of force is named and look
more closely at balanced forces. Children
use a range of PE equipment to investigate
the balancing of forces.
Set up an enquiry to investigate on which
surface their sports shoe will perform best.
Ensuring it is a fair test, children record
measurements and report findings.

Yr 4: Measuring temperature
Yr 4: Using a thermometer
Yr 4: Keeping hot
Yr 4: Keeping cool
Use everyday examples to explain that
temperature is a measure of how hot or cold
something is and that it increases or
decreases due to heat being transferred to or
away from the object.
Look at a line graph of temperature changes
in the classroom over 24 hours & explain
why it goes up & down. Look at a range of
temperatures of different places or objects.
A hot flask of tea introduces the concept of
thermal insulation. Plan & carry out an
investigation on keeping water warm.
