    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING how the forces around us impact everyday situations.
    • We are EXPLORING how simple machines can be used to affect forces
    • We are EXPLORING how forces and motion have been used to help children play and have fun.


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • define the term 'force'.
    • distinguish between contact and non-contact forces.
    • describe the relationship between mass and weight.
    • describe the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object.
    • name the four forces acting on a moving object.
    • define friction and understand how it affects motion.
    • define 'drag' and understand some basic aerodynamic principles.
    • use a formula triangle to calculate speed, distance or time.
    • understood the factors that affect stopping distances


    Activities:

    1. Complete activities and investigations that reinforce learning.

    2. Aerodynamics Investigation reflection.
