Carbon dioxide is a type of gas found in Earth’s atmosphere.

Gases which contribute towards global warming are called greenhouse gases.

Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.

Evidence is information which helps us to prove that something is true or not true.

Climate change is when the long-term weather patterns change.

Science

In this Properties, changes and separating materials unit, pupils learn to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating. In the Materials challenge unit, they will build on this knowledge to apply their understanding of separating materials to a wider range of everyday situations

In the Everyday materials unit, pupils learnt to compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of their simple physical properties. In this Properties, changes and separating materials, pupils will build on this knowledge to compare an group together everyday materials on the basis of a wider variety of properties
