  • Big Idea:  To investigate forces and motion by using the new MHJC bike track through experimentation and hands on experience 

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING forces and motion by experimentation and practical hands on activity and bike riding
    • We are EXPLORING renewable energy by practical investigation and building devices that will run on renewable energy
    • We are EXPLORING the PPDAC cycle to collect data and calculate the speed and velocity of each member of the class cycling around the race track
    Learning Intentions         :          We are learning to (WALT)...
    • Convert distance and time from one scale to another. 
    • Define the word "force" 
    • Distinguish between contact and non contact forces 
    • describe the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object 
    • Name the four forces acting on moving objects 
    • Use F=mxa to solve simple force problems 
    • Describe the relationship between mass and weight 
    • Define friction and understand how it affects motion 
    • Use the speed formula to perform simple calculations 
    • Use the bike track to work out the speediest / fastest member of the year 9 community 
    • Dra and interpret line graphs 
    • Define drag and understand some basic aerodynamic principles 
    • Explain how simple machines work looking specifically at the gears on a bike
