Embark on an interactive exploration of air resistance with this comprehensive Key Stage 2 PowerPoint lesson. In line with the National Curriculum, students will delve into the world of forces, grounding their understanding in real-world examples such as sports cars, rockets, birds, and more. Discover how air resistance plays a vital role in various scenarios - from the aerodynamics of a speeding sports car to the lift on an airplane’s wings, to the power of windmills and turbines.
Through relatable concepts, this lesson helps students understand gravity and how it interacts with air resistance, specifically through an engaging case study of a skydiver in freefall. Further reinforcing the principles learned, students will be challenged to design and make their own parachute, encapsulating their grasp on maximizing and minimizing air resistance. Perfect for international classrooms and adaptable for various teaching styles, this lesson brings scientific principles to life.
