Taught alongside it

The rest of Science understanding in Foundation Year.

AC9SFU01

observe external features of plants and animals and describe ways they can be grouped based on these features

AC9SFU02

describe how objects move and how factors including their size, shape or material influence their movement

The same idea, year by year

Where AC9SFU03 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Foundation Year.

  1. Year 1AC9S1U01identify the basic needs of plants and animals, including air, water, food or shelter, and describe how the places they live meet those needs
  2. Year 1AC9S1U02describe daily and seasonal changes in the environment and explore how these changes affect everyday life
  3. Year 1AC9S1U03describe pushes and pulls in terms of strength and direction and predict the effect of these forces on objects’ motion and shape

Planning against AC9SFU03?
