Year 2 of the primary science spiral. The same seven units, one level deeper: the fair test, real measurement with rulers and scales and thermometers, data written down in a table, and reporting what actually happened rather than what was hoped for.
A student who finishes this year holds the method that Science Grade 4 opens by assuming.
Pacing: one lesson per week, 36 weeks.
