A set of resources for the new science curriculum, looking at different aspects of forces such as air resistance, water resistance, friction, gravity and mechanisms. It contains:
1. INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC - LO: To find out what the children already know about forces
POWERPOINT: A recap of previous learning from Year 3.
WORKSHEET: A sheet for the children to record what they already know about forces.
2. FALLING TO EARTH - LO: Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object
POWERPOINT: A look at gravity and explanations of weight, newtons, and how forces can balance objects to keep them from falling.
WORKSHEET 1: Force meter recording sheet
WORKSHEET 2: Falling objects and gravity recording sheet
3. FRICTION - LO: Identify the effects of friction that act between moving surfaces
POWERPOINT: Explains what friction is, when it happens and how useful it can be in daily life.
WORKSHEET: Friction recording sheet
4. WATER RESISTANCE - LO: Identify the effects of water resistance that act between moving surfaces
POWERPOINT: Explains what water resistance is and what effects it can have. Looks at different shapes and how high or low the water resistance would be for each.
WORKSHEET: Water resistance recording sheet
5. AIR RESISTANCE - LO: Identify the effects of air resistance that act between moving surfaces
POWERPOINT: Explains air resistance and how it can slow different objects down. Looks at ways in which it can be useful and situations where it is important.
WORKSHEET 1: Air resistance activity
WORKSHEET 2: Weight in water and air recording sheet
6. LEVERS, PULLEYS AND GEARS - LO: Recognise that some mechanisms, including levers, pulleys and gears, allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.
POWERPOINT: Looks at and explains each mechanism in turn, giving examples of each and how forces are altered by them.
7. FORCES RECAP
POWERPOINT 1: A recap of all the learning covered in the topic
POWERPOINT 2: A quiz
WORKSHEET 1: Sheet for recording what they have learnt
WORKSHEET 2: A quiz answer sheet, can be used for assessment.
