Through this unit children will become more aware of the huge variety of living things within their local environment and of differences between them. They will learn that although individual living things are different there are similarities which can help to sort them into groups and that this is helpful.
Experimental and investigative work focuses on:
- making observations, measurements and comparisons
- presenting findings in drawings and block graphs
- using results to draw conclusions.
Work in this unit also offers opportunities for children to relate understanding of science to environmental contexts and to consider how to treat living things with sensitivity.
Some of this unit may be undertaken in relation to the school's programme for personal, social and health education.
This unit takes approximately 9 hours.
