Year 4 Animals Including Humans booklet. KS2 Science: digestive system, types of teeth, food chains, producers, consumers, predators, prey. UK curriculum.

The Year 4 Animals Including Humans unit covers three of the most engaging topics in KS2 Science: the human digestive system, the function of different types of teeth, and the place of organisms in a food chain. This booklet teaches the unit through structured explanations, labelled diagrams, comparison tables, and short writing prompts so learners build the vocabulary to describe what's happening inside the body and out in an ecosystem.

What's inside:

• The digestive system: mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus — function of each part and the journey of food through the body
• Types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, molars — what each is shaped to do, with comparison to herbivore, carnivore, and omnivore dentition
• Food chains: producers (plants), primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), tertiary consumers, top predators, and the prey at each level
• Arrows in a food chain: how arrows show the direction of energy flow (a common misconception is to draw them the wrong way)
• Diagrams to label, classification activities, and explanation prompts learners can complete independently
• Self-assessment sheet at the back

UK National Curriculum reference: Year 4 Science, Animals Including Humans. Aligned to the statutory requirements: describe the simple functions of the basic parts of the digestive system in humans; identify the different types of teeth in humans and their simple functions; construct and interpret a variety of food chains, identifying producers, predators and prey.

Who it's for: Year 4 class teachers planning the Animals Including Humans unit, primary science leads, primary science tutors, parents supporting their child's Year 4 science learning, and homeschool families on the UK national curriculum.
