Pupils who are secure will be able to:

• Describe how some living things in a rock pool have their needs met and how the conditions change.
• Order the stages of different animal life cycles.
• Identify similarities and differences between different animal life cycles.
• Recall different types of litter that affect ocean habitats and describe some of the problems linked with ocean litter.
• Suggest ways to reduce how human litter affects the ocean.
• Recall how to write a food chain and produce an example of an ocean food chain.
• Describe how litter affects a food chain.

When working scientifically, pupils who are secure will be able to:

• Complete a tally chart to record the living things in rock pools and summarise observations.
• Make careful observations and pose questions about ocean animals and their life cycles.
• Begin to plan an experiment and predict changes to materials in ocean water over time.
• Observe and make comparisons to materials soaked in water and summarise the results from the ocean litter investigation.
• Use the results to explain which litter is worst for the oceans and advise people about their material choices.
• Describe the role of a marine biologist.
• Record the number of living things found in the ocean as a tally chart and as a pictogram.
• Compare two sets of data and summarise findings.
