  • 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 force with examples
    • I can differentiate between contact and non-contact force with examples
    • I can use the formula F=m x a  for calculating, the force acting on an object or the mass of an object or the acceleration of an object due to gravity
