1. Planning fair tests

Build secure Key Stage 2 understanding of planning fair tests in Science.

A common misconception is treating planning fair tests in Science as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Core vocabulary for planning fair tests Extension: Extend toward living things and habitats once planning fair tests is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: Key Stage 1 Science - Repair foundations in Key Stage 1 Science if planning fair tests is blocked by earlier knowledge.

Later outcome: Key Stage 3 Science - Stretch planning fair tests toward Key Stage 3 Science once evidence is transferable.

Representative problem: Complete one short Science task using planning fair tests and explain one step.

Mastery signal: Explains planning fair tests in their own words

2. Living things and habitats

Build secure Key Stage 2 understanding of living things and habitats in Science.

A common misconception is treating living things and habitats in Science as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Secure or revisit planning fair tests Extension: Extend toward materials and changes once living things and habitats is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: Key Stage 1 Science - Repair foundations in Key Stage 1 Science if living things and habitats is blocked by earlier knowledge.

Later outcome: Key Stage 3 Science - Stretch living things and habitats toward Key Stage 3 Science once evidence is transferable.

Representative problem: Complete one short Science task using living things and habitats and explain one step.

6. Using evidence to explain

Build secure Key Stage 2 understanding of using evidence to explain in Science.

A common misconception is treating using evidence to explain in Science as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Secure or revisit earth space and environments Extension: Extend using evidence to explain into a more complex Science problem with less scaffolding.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: Key Stage 1 Science - Repair foundations in Key Stage 1 Science if using evidence to explain is blocked by earlier knowledge.

Later outcome: Key Stage 3 Science - Stretch using evidence to explain toward Key Stage 3 Science once evidence is transferable.

Representative problem: Complete one short Science task using using evidence to explain and explain one step.
