EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING the physical world focussing on forces and how these forces affect movement of an athlete
• We are EXPLORING our ability to work independently in a lab setting to perform a variety of practical force related experiments which will lead up to our NCEA investigation

• Identify the different forces acting on an object
• Understand how balanced forces and unbalanced forces play a role in movement 
• Discuss the relationship between mass and weight 
• Understand  that there are always 4 forces acting on an object  
• Describe and experiment with forces 
• Calculate the weight of an object and the forces acting on an object
• Perform various practical investigations that lead to a straight line graph 
• Explain how the results from these investigations affect an objects movement 

• Success Criteria: I can/have...

•  Successfully identify different forces acting on an object 
• Explain how balanced and unbalanced forces act on an object 
• Explain how one can get a straight line graph from a practical investigation 
• Define friction 
• Perform various calculations correctly 
• Explain successfully what a straight line graph from an experiment means 
•
