Year 6 Science Assessments and Tracking Objectives covered: Describe how living things are classified into broad groups according
to common observable characteristics and based on similarities and differences, including micro-organisms, plants and animals Give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics Identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood Recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function Describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals, including humans Recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of
years ago Recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring
vary and are not identical
to their parents Identify how animals and plants are adapted
to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead
to evolution Recognise that light appears
to travel in straight lines Use the idea that light travels in straight lines
to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye Explain that we see things because light travels
from light sources
to our eyes or
from light sources
to objects and then
to our eyes Use the idea that light travels in straight lines
to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them Associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit Compare and give reasons for variations in how
components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on / off position of switches Use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram
We can think of value - added estimates as measuring three
components: (1) true teaching effectiveness that persists across
years; (2) true effectiveness that
varies from year to year; and (3) measurement error.

The results show that the effects of SAL physics lead
to time -
varying, non-uniform spatial patterns and are an important
component of ocean mass variability on scales
from months
to years.
