Lesson Seven – Push and Pull

This science scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to investigate and record some of the special ways of moving a selection of objects made from different materials using a range of forces.

The class can test, observe and illustrate how they might move objects made from different materials using either pushing or pulling forces.

Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to investigate and record some of the special ways of moving a selection of objects made from different materials using a range of forces

Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify a selection of true and false statements about how forces work on different objects and a set of cards to select and record some of the special ways of using a range of forces to move objects.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore some of the ways of moving objects using a range of different forces.

This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to practise conducting a range of fair tests to identify and compare different materials based on magnetism and friction that can occur between surfaces. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.

  • Ordering and Changing

    Ordering and Changing

    Explore and record how to order three digit numbers by the place value of their digits and how the digits in a number change their numerical values when finding ten and one hundred more or less

  • Changing Hundreds

    Changing Hundreds

    Explore and record the matching number sums that are one hundred more and less than different three digit numbers to show changes to the place values of their numerical digits

  • Digit Changes

    Digit Changes

    Identify and record the matching number sums that are ten less than different three digit numbers by illustrating changes to the values of their hundreds, tens and ones digits

  • Changing Numbers

    Changing Numbers

    Identify and record number sums that are ten more than different three digit numbers using abacus diagrams to model their changing values
