What came before?
In Year 4, pupils learned about human teeth, the digestive system and food chains.
What comes after?
In Year 6, the area of 'Animals, Including Humans' progresses onto 'Evolution and Inheritance' where pupils will learn about how animals have adapted to their environments over millions of years through natural selection. Learning also includes the formation of fossils and how their discovery has influenced scientific understanding.
