These units of learning have been created taking full account of the issues raised recently by inspectors about the balance between substantive knowledge and disciplinary knowledge in science.

There are 4 or 5 units of learning per year groups 1 to 6. (linked directly to the National Curriculum).

Each unit follows a system that ensures prior knowledge has been ignited (link it), that there is a focus on the main learning (composite), and that these are broken into component parts. In addition, the units seek to balance the development of substantive knowledge and pupils' disciplinary knowledge (working scientifically). This part is known as the 'learn it'.

There are also 'check-its' that should be used during the learning to ensure that pupils are keeping up and, therefore, negate the need to catch up at a later stage. These 'check-its' can be used at any stage of the learning activity. To end the unit, there are suggestions for pupils to present an aspect of their learning to others. This stage, known as the 'show it,' provides opportunities for pupils to demonstrate their knowledge to others.

The final part of the unit is an example of several retrieval activities specific to the learning. These would be used after the learning has been completed and a term later to check that pupils have recalled key knowledge.
