Lesson Eight – Friction
This science scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to conduct a test to investigate, observe and record how friction can affect the movements of objects made from a range of different materials.
The class can measure how far an object has travelled across a range of surfaces that produce different amounts of friction to slow the speed of each object.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to conduct a test to investigate, observe and record how friction can affect the movements of objects made from a range of different materials
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify examples of fiction that can occur between a pair of surfaces and a template to record the results of an investigation into how friction can affect the movement of objects made from different materials.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to conduct a test to investigate how friction can affect the movements of different objects.
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.
