    Achievement Objectives


    Nature of science

    Investigating in science


    • Build on prior experiences, working together to share and examine their own and others’ knowledge.

    • Ask questions, find evidence, explore simple models, and carry out appropriate investigations to develop simple explanations.


    Physical world


    Explore, describe, and represent patterns and trends for everyday examples of physical phenomena, such as movement, forces, electricity and magnetism, light, sound, waves, and heat. For example, identify and describe the effect of forces (contact and non-contact) on the motion of objects; identify and describe everyday examples of sources of energy, forms of energy, and energy transformations.


    Learning Intentions: We are learning to (WALT)...

    • exploring the concepts of force and motion
    • Investigating balanced and unbalanced forces
    • Understanding the Laws of motion


    Success Criteria: I can/have..

    • define or explain the following terms  - Force, contact vs non contact forces, Newton's laws of motion, gravity, mass, weight, friction, buoyancy, thrust, air/water resistance
    • Explain forces acting on a object, balanced and unbalanced forces, using diagrams
    • Calculate distance, speed, force



    Activities:

    • Teacher-led activities and discussion to understand forces
    • Read the pdf file on forces and answer the questions from the activity section.
    • Use the interactive website to develop your understanding of forces and motion.
    • Write out Newton's Laws of Motion giving your own example to explain this idea. 


    Vocab:

    • Force
    • Squeezing
    • Contact force
    • Non-contact force
    • Motion
    • Inertia
    • Stationary
    • Motion
    • Thrust
    • Exerted
