Term 3 - Week 3

Learning Goals:
Explore and investigate the forces associated with hiking gear (eg. compass, boots)

Success Criteria:
1. Identify and describe different types of forces:  Buoyancy, friction, air resistance (drag), gravity, pressure, magnetic
2. Compare contact and non-contact forces
3. Investigate how a compass works and how the smoothness of a surface related to friction

Activities:
1. Take up work from last week on forces
2. Explore how a compass works 
3. Investigate how the smoothness of a surface (reducing friction) changes the distance a marble can roll 

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING...hiking gear by observing and investigating the forces associated with them
• We are EXPLORING...how fast we walk by calculating our speed and collecting data from pedometers
