In this unit children apply their knowledge of a variety of forces, including magnetic attraction, gravitational attraction and friction. Children learn about the changes in motion which occur when forces act on an object. They consolidate their understanding that forces have direction and can be measured.
Experimental and investigative work focuses on:
- making and repeating measurements
- considering patterns in results
- representing data in line graphs
- using results to draw conclusions.
Work in this unit also offers opportunities for children to use understanding about forces to explain everyday phenomena and to obtain evidence to test scientific ideas.
This unit takes approximately 9 hours.
