Gravity
This science scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to investigate, test and record the effects that the force of gravity can have on a range of different objects and materials. The can can perform investigations and build models to illustrate how gravity can affect the movement of objects in the world.
Investigate, test and record some of the effects that the force of gravity can have on a range of different objects and materials
Lesson One : Laws of Motion
Investigate and devise a range of different tests to prove Newton’s three laws of motions to illustrate how forces can act on objects
Lesson Two : What Force
Explore, describe and model some of the forces acting on different objects and materials that can create a range of movements and actions
Lesson Three : Isaac Newton
Explore and illustrate how the scientist Isaac Newton discovered and proved the existence of the force of gravity in the universe
Lesson Four : Measuring Gravity
Conduct and present results from a scientific investigation that explores the link between the force of gravity and the mass of objects
Lesson Five : Sand Craters
Plan and conduct a scientific investigation to identify and record how the force of gravity can affect the rate of falling objects
Lesson Six : Science Fair
Build and test a model to explain and illustrate how the force of gravity works in the universe to a younger age group in the school
Lesson Seven : Gravity Matters
Correct and re-draft a magazine article that provides facts and information about the effect of gravity on objects and materials in the world
