Cambridge Primary Science Stage 6


Framework Learning Objective Ongoing (O)
Code Term ref
(T1, T2, T3)
Scientific enquiry/Ideas and evidence
6Ep1 Consider how scientists have combined evidence from observation and measurement with
creative thinking to suggest new ideas and explanations for phenomena
6Ep2 Collect evidence and data to test ideas including predictions
Scientific enquiry/Plan investigative work
6Ep3 Discuss how to turn ideas into a form that can be tested
6Ep4 Make predictions using scientific knowledge and understanding
6Ep5 Choose what evidence to collect to investigate a question, ensuring that the evidence is
sufficient
6Ep6 Identify factors that are relevant to a particular situation
6Ep7 Choose which equipment to use
Scientific enquiry/Obtain and present evidence
6Eo1 Make a variety of relevant observations and measurements using simple apparatus correctly
6Eo2 Decide when observations and measurements need to be checked by repeating to give more
reliable data
6Eo3 Use tables, bar charts and line graphs to present results
Scientific enquiry/Consider evidence and approach
6Eo4 Make comparisons
6Eo5 Evaluate repeated results
6Eo6 Identify patterns in results and results that do not appear to fit the pattern
6Eo7 Use results to draw conclusions and to make further predictions
6Eo8 Suggest and evaluate explanations for predictions using scientific knowledge and
understanding and communicate these clearly to others
6Eo9 Say if and how evidence supports any prediction made
Biology/Humans and animals
6Bh1 Use scientific names for some major organs of body systems
6Bh2 Identify the position of major organs in the body
6Bh3 Describe the main functions of the major organs of the body
6Bh4 Explain how the functions of the major organs are essential
Biology/Living things in their environment
6Be1 Explore how humans have positive and negative effects on the environment, e.g. loss of
species, protection of habitats
6Be2 Explore a number of ways of caring for the environment, e.g. recycling, reducing waste,
reducing energy consumption, not littering, encouraging others to care for the environment
6Be3 Know how food chains can be used to represent feeding relationships in a habitat and present
these in text and diagrams
6Be4 Know that food chains begin with a plant (the producer), which uses energy from the sun

Cambridge Primary Science Stage 6
Framework Learning Objective Ongoing (O)
Code Term ref
(T1, T2, T3)
6Be5 Understand the terms producer, consumer, predator and prey
6Be6 Explore and construct food chains in a particular habitat
Chemistry/Material changes
6Cc1 Distinguish between reversible and irreversible changes
6Cc2 Explore how solids can be mixed and how it is often possible to separate them again
6Cc3 Observe, describe, record and begin to explain changes that occur when some solids are
added to water
6Cc4 Explore how, when solids do not dissolve or react with water, they can be separated by
filtering, which is similar to sieving
6Cc5 Explore how some solids dissolve in water to form solutions and, although the solid cannot be
seen, the substance is still present
Physics/Forces and motion
6Pf1 Distinguish between mass measured in kilograms (kg) and weight measured in Newtons,
noting that kilograms are used in everyday life
6Pf2 Recognise and use units of force, mass and weight and identify the direction in which forces
act
6Pf3 Understand the notion of energy in movement
6Pf4 Recognise friction (including air resistance) as a force which can affect the speed at which
objects move and which sometimes stops things moving
Physics/Electricity and magnetism
6Pm1 Investigate how some materials are better conductors of electricity than others
6Pm2 Investigate how some metals are good conductors of electricity while most other materials are
not
6Pm3 Know why metals are used for cables and wires and why plastics are used to cover wires and
as covers for plugs and switches
6Pm4 Predict and test the effects of making changes to circuits, including length or thickness of wire
and the number and type of components
6Pm5 Represent series circuits with drawings and conventional symbols

Notes:
 You should enter all the learning objectives for the stage here. The number of lines in the table should match
the total number of learning objectives for the stage.
 The final column should give a clear overview of coverage. Where an objective is addressed in more than
one unit, all of the relevant units should be listed – this will help you to achieve a balance, ensuring that
coverage is sufficient and/or not too frequent at the expense of others.
