Oxygen poor blood flows back from the body to the heart
Oxygen rich blood is pumped from the heart to the body
Body
Circulation of blood around the body
Beckham’s heart rate at the start of the match is 60 BPM.
His heart rate rises because he is active and his heart is pumping
blood to his muscles
Beckham’s heart rate drops after 45 minutes because he rests at
half time
When we exercise our heart rate rises but then drops back down
to its resting rate, when we stop.

4. LIFECYCLES 5B PARTS OF A FLOWER
2. Growth- plants need sunlight, water, nutrients to grow.
Carpel
1.Germination-the seed starts to sprout
3. Pollination- occurs when pollen is carried from one flower another flower
INSECT POLLINATED FLOWERS
WIND POLLINATED FLOWERS
large, brightly
coloured petals ,
often sweetly
scented,
usually contain
nectar - to attract
insects
small petals, often
brown or dull green
no need to attract
pollen produced in
great quantities
pollen is very light
and smooth - so it
can be blown in the
wind
5. Seed Dispersal-
Seeds are released from the plant
and scattered in different ways such as
explosion, animals, wind and water
STAMEN The male part of a plant consisting of
Anthers which store pollen
Filaments which are the stalks holding up the anthers
CARPEL The female part of the plant made up of the
Stigma where the pollen arrives
Style which is a tube that joins the stigma to the ovary
Ovary where the eggs (ovules) are stored.
PETAL: a brightly coloured part of the flower, which attracts insects and helps a plant pollinate.
SEPAL: The protective leaves around the flower when it is a bud
EXPLOSION- seedpods split suddenly along their seams to scatter their seeds
WIND- Seeds covered in feathery materials, act like parachutes when caught in the wind.
WATER- Coconuts have hollow centers and can float

6. Changing State 5D Melting Evaporation Solid  Liquid  Gas  
 
Freezing Condensing
Evaporation
When a liquid warms up and starts to turn into a gas.
Condensation
When water vapour cools and turns to liquid.
Melting
When a solid warms up and turns into a liquid.
The water cycle in nature, is an excellent example of the processes of evaporation and condensation.
Freezing
When a liquid gets cold enough to turn into a solid.
Water turns into snow or ice when it gets very cold. When it warms up it turns back to water
Lava is molten rock, but it has to be very hot to melt rock!
Chocolate goes soft and gooey if you heat it. Cool it down and it goes hard again
Washing drying on the line is a good example of evaporation

Earth Sun and Moon
Year 5 Revision booklet

8. Earth Sun and Moon 5E Spring equinox – March 21st
The Earth is tilted at 23 ̊. Because of this, in our Summer the Northern Hemisphere is pointing towards the sun . This gives us long days and short nights, with warm temperatures as the Sun’s rays shine direct on us.
In winter the Northern Hemisphere is pointing away from the sun. We have shorter days and longer nights as the sun’s rays bend to reach us
Winter – Dec 21st
Summer – June 21st
Autumn Equinox – Sept 21st

9. 5E
Earth Sun and Moon
The earth spins or rotates on its own axis. It takes 24 hours for the Earth to spin once on its axis.
As the Earth spins, some parts are facing towards the sun and some parts face away from the sun. This causes day and night.
The earth spins from west to east. This means the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west. The sun moves across the sky in an arc and is at its highest point at midday.
During the winter, the sun is much lower in the sky and the number of daylight hours is much less.

10. Sound travels at different speeds through different materials
Changing Sounds
Sounds are made by vibrations,
Sounds travel through any substance which has particles and which can vibrate eg air, walls, water etc
Musical instruments vibrate strings, skins, wooden blocks, columns of air etc.
Sounds are muffled by thick materials.
Pitch is how high or how low a note is
Amplitude is how loud or soft a note is.
High pitch Low pitch
Sound travels at different speeds through different materials
