Lesson Five – Sand Craters

This science teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to plan and conduct a scientific investigation to identify and record how the force of gravity can affect the rate of falling objects.
The class can practise using a line graph to organise and display the measurement data recorded during their investigation into gravity to show what happens when objects are dropped from different heights.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to plan and conduct a scientific investigation to identify and record how the force of gravity can affect the rate of falling objects
Activities in this teaching pack include a template to plan and record the results from an investigation exploring how gravity affects falling objects and worksheets to record the results of test into the impact of objects falling to the ground and present the measurements taken during the investigation using a line graph to compare height and width.
The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to conduct an investigation to explore how the force of gravity can affect falling objects.
This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to investigate, test and record some of the effects that the force of gravity can have on a range of different objects and materials. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
