  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on developing our knowledge of the non-contact forces of magnetism and gravity
    • We are FOCUSING on developing our knowledge of the contact forces of friction, air resistance and drag
    • We are FOCUSING on explaining the three laws of motion


    Success Criteria:

    • I can recall that friction is a contact force that always opposes motion.
    • I can recall that low speed = low friction; high speed = high friction
    • I can identify when friction is useful, when friction is a hindrance


    Activities:

    • Calculating speed of an object from their distance and time values
    • Calculating our own speed using measuring tapes and stopwatches
    • Friction worksheet displayed on projector
