Lesson One – What Force
This science teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify, describe and compare some of the different uses of the force of friction that can be utilised in the everyday world to complete a range of functions.
The class can select and explain how to perform an investigation test to prove a true or false fact about how friction works as a resistance force between surface materials.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify, describe and compare some of the different uses of the force of friction that can be utilised in the everyday world to complete a range of functions
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe forces acting on different objects, a shared reading text to explain true and false facts about how forces act on different objects and a template to select and record information about an investigation that can be used to demonstrate the force of friction.
The interactive presentation can be used to explore and describe some of the different uses of friction in the everyday world for a range of matching functions.
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.
