I can explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object. I can identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction that act between moving surfaces. I can recognise that some mechanisms, including levers, pulleys and gears, allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.
Geography I can understand and use a widening range of geographical terms such as climate zones, biomes and mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes, and the water cycle I can understand about weather patterns around the climate zones
