Forces and Space - Year 5

Unlock the mysteries of motion and the universe with this Forces and Space Bundle Pack, designed for Year 5–6 Science. This engaging collection of lessons helps students explore how forces shape the world around us — from the pull of gravity to the push of air resistance — through hands-on experiments, clear explanations, and interactive activities.

**Overview **
This bundle covers the key concepts of forces and space in line with the KS2 Science curriculum, including:

• Air Resistance — how shape and surface affect movement through air
• Water Resistance — exploring drag and streamlined design
• Friction — understanding how surfaces slow motion
• Gears, Levers, and Pulleys — mechanical advantage and everyday applications
• Gravity — how it keeps us grounded and governs planetary motion
• Space Exploration — the solar system, orbits, and how forces act beyond Earth

**Learning Outcomes
Students will:

• Identify and describe the effects of different forces on objects
• Understand how simple machines make work easier
• Investigate how friction, air, and water resistance affect motion
• Explain gravity and its role in space and planetary movement
• Apply scientific reasoning to real-world examples and experiments

**Ideal For

• KS2 Science units on Forces and Motion or Earth and Space
• STEM enrichment lessons and cross-curricular links with Design & Technology
• Teachers seeking ready-to-use, high-quality resources for practical science
