Lesson Four – Friction and Speed
This science teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to explain and model how to plan and conduct an investigation to explore and measure the link between the force of friction and the speed of objects.
The class can practise using a line graph to display and interpret results from their test about how friction can change resistance at different speeds.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explain and model how to plan and conduct an investigation to explore and measure the link between the force of friction and the speed of objects
Activities in this teaching pack include a template to plan an investigation to explore the link between friction and speed and record results using a graph and a worksheet to present and record the results of an investigation between friction and speed.
The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to conduct an investigation to explore the link between the force of friction and the speed of objects.
This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to investigate, describe and test the effects of air and water resistance and friction on a range of different objects and materials presenting results using graphs and tables. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
