In this unit pupils:
- use the concept of speed
- consider the relationship between forces (including balanced forces) on an object, and its movement
- study the effects of water and air resistance on speed, and how streamlining reduces these effects
- use ideas of balanced and unbalanced forces to explain the movement of falling objects
In scientific enquiry pupils:
- measure and calculate, with appropriate precision, the speed of objects in a range of situations
- consider a range of techniques for measuring time and evaluate their relative accuracy and appropriateness for different situations
- construct and interpret speed-time graphs, describing patterns or relationships
This unit is expected to take approximately 8 hours.
