recognising and controlling variables
where necessary
 reporting and presenting findings from
enquiries, including conclusions, causal
relationships and explanations of and a
degree of trust in results, in oral and

9including the use of Ordnance Survey
maps) to build their knowledge if the

lines to explain why shadows have the
same shape as the objects that cast them
Recognise that light appears to travel in
straight lines
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

over time and that fossils provide
information about living things that
inhabited the Earth millions of years ago
Identify how animals and plants are
adapted to suit their environment in
different ways and that adaptation may
lead to evolution
