Section 2: a. How can using a microscope give us information about structure?
Children should learn:
- to use a microscope safely and effectively
- to prepare simple specimens on a slide for observation using a microscope
- to make observations using a microscope and to record these as drawings

Section 3: b. How can using a microscope give us information about structure?
Children should learn:
- to use skimming, scanning, highlighting and note taking as appropriate to different texts
- how ideas about the structure of living things have changed
- that plants and animals are made up of cells
- that plant and animal cells are similar in a number of respects, but have significant differences
- to make observations using a microscope

Section 4: What are cells like?
Children should learn:
- that plant and animal cells are similar in a number of respects
- that plant and animal cells have a cell surface membrane which keeps the cell together and controls what enters and leaves
- that cells have cytoplasm which occupies most of the cell
- that cells have nuclei which control activities of the cell
- that there are significant differences between plant and animal cells

- that there are different types of cell, adapted for different functions
- to use secondary sources of information

Section 7: b. What do cells do?
Children should learn:
- that cells form tissues, and tissues form organs
- to name some important tissues in plants and humans
- to explain the organisation of tissues, using a model

Section 8: a. How are new cells made?
Children should learn:
- that cells can make new cells by dividing
- that growth occurs when new cells are made and increase in size
- that cell division begins with division of the nucleus
View related activities and outcomes
Section 9: b. How are new cells made?
Children should learn:
- that cells have nuclei containing the information that is transferred from one generation to the next
- that in plants, pollen and ovule are specialised cells which enable information to be transferred from one generation to the next
- that at fertilisation, nuclei from pollen and ovule fuse to make a new and unique individual
