Geography Knowledge Organiser: Continents—Year 2
Understanding what a continent is and exploring the seven continents of the world
A hemisphere is half of a sphere, or ball. We use the
word to describe one half of Earth. Geographers, who
study Earth, have divided the planet into two sets of
two hemispheres. These are the Northern and Southern
hemispheres and the Eastern and Western hemispheres.
The Equator is an imaginary circle around Earth. It divides
Earth into two equal parts: the Northern Hemisphere and the
Southern Hemisphere.
What is the difference between a continent
and a country?
A continent is a large solid area of land
that is made up by a group of countries
There are seven continents: North America;
South America; Africa; Europe; Asia; Oce-
ania and Antarctica.
How can we compare the similarities and
differences between the 7 different continents?
Climate
Habitat and landscape
Wildlife
Wealth or poverty
Diversity
Culture

globe a model of the Earth
poles North and South poles are the poles the earth spins around
temperature is a degree of hotness or coldness the can be measured using a
thermometer
climate is the average measurements of temperature, wind, humidity, snow,
and rain in a place over time
human fea-
tures
are something that is built by humans
physical
features
are natural things on the earths surface, such as water, mountains,
and deserts
wildlife animals living in their natural environment
diversity means differences; people may be different in many ways, including
race or ethnicity, age, language, culture, appearance, or religion.
poverty not having enough money for basic needs such as food, water,
shelter
affluent having plenty of money
tourism when a country encourages people to visit their country for
fun
What makes Africa unique?
Thought to be the oldest continent and home to the
longest river and the largest desert.
What makes North America unique?
Third largest continent and located in the Northern
Hemisphere
What makes South America unique?
It has the widest river and the longest mountain
range, the Andes.
What makes Asia unique?
Asia is the largest continent by population including a
huge range of cultures, languages and religions.
What makes Europe unique?
It has 46 countries and is the most developed conti-
nent as it started earlier than the other continents.
What makes Antarctica unique?
It is the coldest, windiest, driest continent on the
planet, and does not have a native population.
What makes Oceania unique?
It is made up of thousands of islands including Aus-
tralia and is the driest inhabited continent, the flattest,
and has the oldest and least fertile soils.
Design and Technology Knowledge Organiser: Dips and Dippers — Year 2
to design and make a selection of healthy dips and dippers, prepare food safely
and evaluate my recipe.
Importance of food hygiene when preparing food
To remove any dirt or spreading of germs we must always ensure we wash our hands, all equipment and
ingredients before we start preparing any food.
What is a recipe?
A set of instructions for making something (as a food
dish) by combining various things.
Some popular dips—hummus, guacamole, tzatziki and
ketchup
What is a dip?
A delicious sauce meant for dipping other foods in.
What is a dipper?
A variety of food used to dip which can includes
breads or a variety of vegetables e.g. carrots, cauli-
flower, cucumber, celery and peppers
Some popular dippers
Design and Technology Knowledge Organiser: Dips and Dippers — Year 2
safe to protect from danger or risk so you are not likely to be
harmed
hygienic to maintain health and prevent the spread of germs by
being clean
cleanliness to keep things clean and prevent the spread of germs
bacteria small germs that can spread and cause illness
germs small cells that can spread and cause disease
taste the sensation of flavour which comes from the mouth
smell to detect the odour or scent of something using the nose
texture the feel and appearance of a surface or object
peel to remove the skin from a fruit or vegetable
grate to make food into small shreds by rubbing it on a grater
chop to cut something into smaller pieces with a knife
design a sketch, model, or plan of something made
ingredients foods or substances that are combined to make a particu-
lar recipe
equipment items in the kitchen that that are used to prepare
and cook foods
product good, idea, method or thing that can be made
evaluate to decide if you have done something the best way and
seeing what you could do differently
Different methods to prepare foods
Chopping, Grating, peeling, slicing
Cooking uses all the 5
senses

and reach new understandings
information facts provided or learned about something
or someone
PowerPoint a software package designed to create
presentations on the computer
presentation a speech or talk in which a piece of work is
shown and explained to an audience
e-safety is trying to be safe on the internet and

Science Knowledge Organiser: Uses of Everyday Materials—Year 2
Every object around us is made from a variety of materials. The materials
for these objects were carefully chosen for their properties (the way they behave). The scissors
we use are made from metal and plastic. Would they work if they had been made from rock
and cardboard?
Object Image Material Properties
spoon metal hard, tough, strong, quite stiff, waterproof, smooth
spoon plastic hard, brittle, weak, flexible, waterproof, smooth
spoon wood soft, tough, strong, stiff, absorbent, smooth
spoon rock (ceramic) hard, tough, brittle, stiff, waterproof, smooth
spoon glass hard, weak, brittle, stiff, waterproof, smooth
spoon cardboard soft, weak, flexible, absorbent, smooth
Each of these spoons all do a similar job (function). They can be made from a wide variety of
materials depending on the job they have to do. Which spoon would be the best for your lunch
box? Which would you not give to a baby? Can you explain why?
