  • Forces and Motion: BasicsForces on an Airplane

    Context - Relationships have consequences that allow Environments/Societies to Survive/Thrive

    Big Idea :  Our focus this term is on developing our understanding of our Physical World and how the relationship between concepts such as Force & Motion is used in our everyday life, and how electricity & magnetism is useful for human society to progress in technology. 

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING...the concepts relating to Forces by classifying the type of forces, investigating and measuring forces in everyday objects.
    Success criteria:
    • I can define Newton's laws of motion.
    • I can draw forces acting on an object using a force diagram.
    • I can use a force meter accurately to gather data.
    • I can record data, make a bar graph, analyse and make conclusions on a physical phenomenon like friction.
    Activities - Do NOW
    • Follow teacher's instructions - Watch the videos below in class.
    • Draw the force acting on a car using a force diagram.
    • Investigate how friction increases or decreases the force acting on an object - Education Perfect task.
