Term 3 Week 1

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING the context of Fast and Furious by experimenting and observing the different concepts of physics involved in cars.
• We are EXPLORING the context of Fast and Furious by classifying the different types of forces there are and connecting some of these to cars

Kia Ora ākonga, 

Welcome back to school. This term, our context is Fast and Furious. We will be collaborating with Maths to get a deeper understanding of how cars ( and all things cars related) work. 

In pūtaiao (science) we will be focusing on the strand of physics- specifically looking at Forces and Motion. 

Achievement Objectives for this Term: 

L5: Identify and describe the patterns associated with physical phenomena found in simple everyday situations involving movement, forces,  For example,the effect of contact and non-contact on the motion of objects.

Plan for the week is as follows: 

Monday: Introduction to context, title page. 

Wednesday: Tennis ball bounce experiment and worksheet on Google classroom

Thursday/Friday: Forces ( contact vs non-contact) notes 

A rough outline of our context and brainstorm from all your discussions and input:

Keywords: friction, forces, motion, acceleration, mechanics, contact forces, non-contact forces, resistance, Newton's Laws, Weight, mass, velocity, Hooke's Law.
