Glaciers: What Students should already knowStudents should ideally already have some knowledge of tectonics from the primary curriculum sections on Science and Geography. However, what students should know and what they actually know can be two very different things.
By the end of KS1 students should be able to locate 'hot and cold areas of the world in relation to the Equator and the North and South Poles'. At KS2 pupils should understand the 'significance of latitude, longitude, Equator, Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere'. |
Students should also be able to 'describe and understand key aspects of physical geography including: climate zones....mountains' by the end of KS2.
In KS2 Science pupils should have covered how objects change states between solids, liquids and gases.
They should also have a basic understanding of the position of the Sun, moon and Earth in relation to each other. This is useful for explaining some theories on climate change relating to Earth's orbit.
