EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING our context of Forces in motion by experimenting and observing the different concepts of physics involved in everyday life and applications
• We are EXPLORING our context of Forces in motion by classifying the different types of contact and non-contact forces there are and connecting these to objects in everyday life
• We are EXPLORING our context by organising the different types of forces and investigating through experiment how to calculate forces

Paearu Angitu / Success Criteria: I can/have...

• Define 'force' 
• Name 5-6 forces that act on many everyday objects 
• I can describe the effect of balanced and un balanced forces on motion (Newton’s First Law)
  
• I can calculate force using F = ma (Newton’s Second Law)
  I can rearrange F = ma to solve an unknown variable (Newton’s Second Law).
• I can explain the difference between mass and weight.
• I can define friction, and describe its effect on motion.
• I can use the scientific method to write-up my experiment ( I can identify the aim, method, variables, results in an experiment )
