🪐 🔬 Science

The Solar System

Journey through the Solar System and discover the eight planets that orbit our Sun.

✓ The Solar System consists of the Sun and eight planets that orbit it, along with moons, asteroids and comets.

✓ The order of the planets from the Sun is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

🦎 🔬 Science

Evolution and Adaptation

Discover how living things adapt to their environments and how species evolve over time.

✓ Adaptation is the process by which living things develop features that help them survive in their environment.

✓ Evolution is the gradual change in a species over many generations through natural selection.

🌱 🔬 Science

Environmental Conservation

Learn how human activity affects the environment and what we can do to help protect it.

✓ Human activities such as deforestation, pollution and burning fossil fuels are damaging the Earth's ecosystems.

✓ Climate change — caused by the build-up of greenhouse gases — is causing global temperatures to rise, affecting weather and wildlife.

🧱 🔬 Science

Materials and Their Properties

Explore the properties of materials and learn how they determine what materials are used for.

✓ Materials can be described by their properties: hard or soft, flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque, magnetic or non-magnetic.

✓ The best material for a job is chosen based on its properties — a window must be transparent; a frying pan must conduct heat.

⚡ 🔬 Science

Electricity and Circuits

Discover how electrical circuits work and the difference between conductors and insulators.

✓ An electrical circuit must be a complete, unbroken loop for electricity to flow.

✓ Conductors (like metals) allow electricity to pass through them; insulators (like rubber and plastic) do not.

🦷 🔬 Science

Teeth and Digestion

Learn about the four types of teeth and the journey food takes through the digestive system.

✓ Humans have two sets of teeth: 20 milk teeth and up to 32 permanent adult teeth.

✓ The four types of teeth are incisors (cutting), canines (tearing), premolars and molars (grinding).

🦋 🔬 Science

Life Cycles

Explore the life cycles of butterflies, frogs and plants from beginning to end.

✓ A life cycle shows the stages of growth, reproduction and death that a living thing passes through.

✓ Insects such as butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis: egg → larva (caterpillar) → pupa (chrysalis) → adult.

🔊 🔬 Science

Sound and How We Hear

Discover how vibrations create sound and how our ears detect it.

✓ Sound is made when objects vibrate — the vibrations travel through the air as sound waves.

✓ Sound needs a medium (solid, liquid or gas) to travel through — it cannot travel through a vacuum.

🦴 🔬 Science

The Human Body: Skeleton and Muscles

Discover how the skeleton and muscles work together to support and move the body.

✓ The human skeleton has 206 bones and provides shape, support and protection for our organs.

✓ Muscles work in pairs — when one contracts (shortens), the other relaxes, creating movement.

🧲 🔬 Science

Forces and Magnets

Discover how forces act on objects and explore the push and pull of magnets.

✓ A force is a push or pull that can change the speed, direction or shape of an object.

✓ Magnets attract magnetic materials (iron, steel, nickel and cobalt) and can attract or repel other magnets.

🦊 🔬 Science

Food Chains and Habitats

Discover how habitats support life and how energy flows through food chains.

✓ A habitat is the natural environment where a plant or animal lives, providing food, shelter and conditions it needs to survive.

✓ A food chain shows the flow of energy from one living thing to the next — it always starts with a producer (a plant).

🪨 🔬 Science

Rocks and Soils

Explore the three types of rock and discover what soil is made from.

✓ There are three main types of rock: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.

✓ Igneous rocks form when magma cools and hardens; sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediment pressed together over time.
