Autumn term: Unit 6C. More about dissolving Unit 6D. Reversible and irreversible changes (short unit) - links with dissolving (reversible) and with micro-organisms (bread) Unit 6B. Micro-organisms (short unit) - fits with Victorians (Pasteur, etc???) Spring term: Unit 6E. Forces in action Spring term topic (Bicycles?? I suggest we change to a different way of covering forces! MK) Unit 6G. Changing circuits (short unit) - Can we think of a way to combine this with the Spring topic? machines?? Could link to all sorts of DT.

Summer term: Unit 6A. Interdependence and adaptation - fits with Weather topic Unit 6F. How we see things (short unit) MK & VS to cover Year 6 revision Week 1 - Properties of materials
 * Wednesday afternoons** - in literacy groups

AR & LH could use this time to cover investigative skills (making the most of having smaller groups!)

Will need to do additional science lesson during week with class.
