Section outline


  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on the force of magnetism
    • We are FOCUSING on the properties of forces
    • We are FOCUSING on interpreting distance and time graphs
    • We are FOCUSING on examples of friction in everyday life
    • We are FOCUSING on Newton’s three laws of motion


    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING prominent figures in Science and the domains that they are leaders in
    • We are EXPLORING the scientific knowledge that Marie Curie brought to Science
    • We are EXPLORING the scientific knowledge that Albert Einstein brought to Science
    • We are EXPLORING what everything is made of


    Success Criteria:

    • I can describe the difference between mass and weight
    • I can recall different types of forces
    • I can distinguish between contact and non-contact forces


    Activities:

    • Using a Newton meter to measure the weight forces of small objects
    • Calculating objects' weight and mass on Earth and the moon. 
    • Comparing contact and non-contact forces
    • PhET simulation on google classroom on Forces and Motion
    • Making a temporary magnet with a nail and a bar magnet
