Cells, tissue and organs
- State the structure and function of a typical animal and plant cell including, cytoplasm , nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall , ribosomes and mitochondria.
- How are different cells adapted to their function e.g. root hair cell for absorption
- Name and give the function of the main organs and systems of the body.
Reproduction
- Explain the structure and function of the male and female reproductive system.
- Understand the menstrual cycle. Describe the secondary sexual characteristics due to puberty.
- Explain what happens during fertilisation, implantation and the development of the baby during pregnancy.
- Birth
- Sexual reproduction in plants, the structure and function of the flower.
- Pollination insect and wind

Chemistry
Acids and Alkalis
- Indicators and pH scale
- Neutralisation
- Examples of neutralization reactions.
Particles and reactions
- Understand the particulate theory of matter in solids , liquids and gases.
- Physical changes such as dissolving and changing state, melting, evaporating, freezing and condensing
- Understand what is meant by a chemical reaction and write simple word equations for oxidation reactions, and combustion.
- Understand that mass is conserved during a chemical reaction.

Physics
Energy
- Explain the different types of energy e.g. heat, kinetic, light, sound, chemical
and gravitational. - Law of conservation of energy and energy
transfers
Electrical circuits
- Series and parallel.
- How to measure current using an ammeter and voltage using a voltmeter.
Forces and motion
- Understand that forces are pushes and pulls etc.
- Forces change the speed, size and shape of an object.
- Gravity is a force and weight is the force of gravity on mass. 1 kg = 10 newtons.
- Balanced and unbalanced force diagrams where the arrows show the size and direction of force.
- Speed is distance /time and can be graphed on a distance time graph.
